Old Shoes and Legggins Lyrics
Old Shoes And Legggins - Uncle Eck Dunford
A man that was old came a-courting one day
And the girls wouldn't have him;
He came down the lane
And walked on a cane
With his old shoes on and his leggin's
My mother she told me
To give him a chair
For the girls wouldn't have him;
I gave him a chair
And he looked mighty quare
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To hang up his hat
Oh the girl wouldn't have him
I hung up his hat
And he kicked at the cat
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To give him some meat
Oh the girl wouldn't have him
I gave him some meat and oh
How he did eat
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To give him a hoe
Oh the girl wouldn't have him
I gave him a hoe
And he jumped jim Crow
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To give him a saw
Oh the girl wouldn't have him
I gave him a saw
And he played Rye Straw
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To put him to bed
Oh the girl wouldn't have him
I put him to bed
And he stood on his head
With his old shoes on
And his leggin's
My mother she told me
To send him away
For the girls wouldn't have him
I sent him away
And he left us to stay
With his old shoes on
And his leggin`s
