G               C
Went up on the mountain
G                     D
Just to give my horn a blow

Thought I heard my true love say
G      D        G
Yonder comes my beau

Took my gal to the blacksmith shop
G                  D
To have her mouth made small
G                     C
She turned around a time or two
     G        D        G
And swallowed shop and all

Possum in a Simmon tree
G                D
Raccoon on the ground
G                C
Raccoon says you son-of-a-gun
G           D        G
Shake some Simmon's down

Someone stole my old 'coon dog
G                     D
Wish they'd bring him back
G                       C
He chased the big hogs through the fence
          G          D            G
And the little ones through the crack

G               C
Met a possum in the road
G          D
Blind as he could be
G                        C
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog
    G        D     G
And bristled up at me

G               C
Boil them Cabbage down
G                     D
Turn them hot cakes round
G               C
The only song that I can sing
   G         D       G
Is Boil them cabbage down

G               C
Once I had an old gray mule
G                D
His name was Simon Slick
G                     C
He'd roll his eyes and back his ears
    G         D         G
And how that mule would kick

G               C
Boil them Cabbage down
G                     D
Turn them hot cakes round
G               C
The only song that I can sing
   G         D       G
Is Boil them cabbage down

G                   C
How that mule would kick
G                       D
He kicked with his dying breath
G                       C
He shoved his hind feet down his throat
    G          D     G
And kicked himself to death

G               C
Boil them Cabbage down
G                   D
