[Verse 1]
In South Carolina the darkies go
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
That's where the white folks plant their tow
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
They cover the ground all over with smoke
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
An' up the darkies' heads they poke
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Chorus]
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime penny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Verse 2]
Sometimes things just go all wrong
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
Cotton grows short instead of long
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
Watcha gonna do if it don't rain at all?
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
Things grow short instead of tall
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Chorus]
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime pеnny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Verse 3]
Therе's milk in the dairy nine days old
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
The frogs and the skeeters gettin' mighty bold
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
We try fer to sleep, but it ain't no use
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
They hop all around in the chicken roost
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Chorus]
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime penny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Verse 4]
There was a frog, he lived near a pool
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
And sure, he was the biggest fool
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
For he could dance and he could sing
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
And make all the woods around him ring
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Chorus]
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime penny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
[Outro]
(Hey!)
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime penny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
Keemo, kimo! Dar! Oh, whar?
With a hi and a ho, and a'here come Sally singin'
Sometime penny with the lingtum, nip-cat
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki'me, oh!
