Come along girls and listen to my noise

Don’tcha never marry no Kansas Boys

If you do your portion it’ll be
C G C
Hoecakes, homniy, sassafrass tea
They’ll take you out on a blackjack hill,
Leave you there against your will,
Leave you there to starve on the plains,
For that is the way with the Kansas range.
When they milk they milk in a gourd,
Throw it in a corner and cover it with a board;
Some gets little and some gets none,
That is the way with the Kansas run.
When they go a-courtin’, the clothes that they wea
Old brown coat, all picked and bare,
Old straw hat, more brim than crown,
And dirty cotton socks they wore the year around.
So come along girls and listen to my noise,
Don’tcha never marry no Kansas boys;
If you do your portion it’ll be,
Hoecakes, hominy, sassafrass tea.
