Well I saved me some money

and bought me some bees,

started making Honey

way up in the trees.

Went to get some Honey

but the Honey was gone

Ole' slough-foot the Coon

done made himself at home.

Pa holler'd get ya Rifle

he's headed for the gate,

hurry up John Henry

before it's too late.

He's comin round the bend

doing ninety mile an hour in four feet a jump,

he ain't never been caught he ain't never been tree'd

some folks say he's a lot like me.

Yee Yee
