[Verse 1]
It's up the rope and down the cable
Forty horses in the stable
First an injun then a squaw
Gwine away for the Arkansas

[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Makes my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!

[Verse 2]
It's vinegar shoes and paper stockings;
Sent to me, Miss Molly Hawkins
My wife's dead and I'm a widder;
All the way from roaring river

[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Makes my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!

[Verse 3]
If I had a wife and a little baby;
I'd support her like a lady
Gobs of wool and littlе fishes;
Earthen plates and pеwter dishes
[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Make my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!

[Verse 4]
It's cowhide shoes and buckskin britches
Give me the gal that sews the stiches
Prettiest thing in all creation
A yaller gal in the wild goose nation!

[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Make my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!

[Verse 5]
It's all the way from the injun nation
Big corn crib on a little plantation [?]
My wife's dead, I'll get another
Pretty little black gal just like the other!

[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Make my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!
[Verse 6]
So blow away you gentle breezes
Down among the 'simmon tree-zes
Dar I set 'long with the muses
Mendin' my old boots and shoes-es

[Chorus]
Oh Lud gals! Gimme me chaw t'bacca
Oh Lud gals! Pass along the whiskey
Make my head swim
When I get a little tipsy!

Oh Lud gals!
