Some Folks
Some folks jump up and down all night
At a D A N C E,
And on their face is great big spots
Of a P A I N T.
And then they go to church to show
Their brand new H A T,
And laugh at us because we say
We're S A V E D.
Chorus: And it's G L O R Y to know
We're S A V E D,
It's H A P P Y to tell
We're F R double E;
Once F O U N D
In the chains of S I N,
It's V I C T O R Y
To know I'm Christ within.
I once knew a man
His name was B R O W N,
He prayed for prohibition
And voted R U M.
He helped to put the poison
In his neighbor's C U P,
And then he had the brass to say
He was S A V E D.
Some folks drinks lots of R U M
Till their nose is R E D,
And stagger home in the morning
To their W I F E.

Mi s sour i Song
Come a l l you young p e o p le , a s to ry I 'v e t o l d ,
A comical s to ry I ' l l su r e ly u n fo ld ,
I went to Mi s sour i when I was twenty y e a r s o ld ,
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
I s topped at a p l a c e to s t a y a l l n ig h t ,
My b r e a k f a s t and supper I thought i t ' s a l l r i g h t ,
The t a b l e was s e t and the knicknacks sp r e ad,
With hoecakes and hominy and a pos sum' s head,
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
When supper was over and a l l had f e d ,
On hoecake and hominy and a pos sum' s head,
The straw was s t i r r e d and the sheepskin sp r e a d ,
Now s a id the o ld man, "We' l l a l l go to bed. "
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
I went to bed expe c t ing some e a s e ,
And I s c a r c e ly could s le ep fo r the l i c e and the f l e a s ,
The l i c e they did b i t e and the f l e a s they did c rawl ,
I t would never a g g r av a te any human a t a l l ,
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
I r o l l e d and I tumbled a l l the n ig h t ,
I kicked 'em and I cus sed 'em with a l l my might ,
I s c a r c e ly could s c r a t ch them as f a s t as th e y 'd b i t e ,
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
Now, o ld Mi s s o u r i , I ' l l bid you f a r ew e l l ,
I ' l l go back to Arkansas where I used to dwe l l ,
Where the g i r l s are a l l r a r in g and t e a r in g t h e i r h a i r,
For the l o s s o f a t ru e love when I l e f t th e r e ,
Way down, down, way down, d i r t y down.
