Well I met old Satan in the lane
And I hit him in the head with a walkin' cane
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there

Over there, over there
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown, over there
Well I got no skillet, I got no lid
Ashcake tastes like shortenin' bread!
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there

Well I run old Satan through the door
Hit him in the head with a two-by-four
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there

Over there, over there
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown, over there
Well I got no skillet, I got no lid
Ashcake tastes like shortenin' bread!
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there

Well I run ol' Satan round the stump
I give 'im a kick over every jump
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there

Over there, over there
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown, over there
Well I got no skillet, I got no lid
Ashcake tastes like shortenin' bread!
I'm goin' to wear that starry crown over there
