Raccoon's got a ring-round tail
Possum's tail goes bare
The rabbit's got no tail at all
Just totes a bunch of hair

The raccoon is a mighty man
He rambles through the dark
You ought to see him hunt his den
When he hears old Ranger bark

Possum up the simmon tree
Raccoon on the ground
Raccoon says to the possum
"Won't you shake them simmons down"

I met that possum in the road
Possum where you gwine?
Look out, man, don't bother me
I'm hunting muscadine

Rabbit up the gum stump
Cooney in the hollow
Possum in the tater patch
Just fat as he can wallow
