10 stone

 

I never seen the like since I've been born,
Way hey and a hilo
Jenny with a jib-boom hoein' up corn.
Way hey roll and go.

It's ten stone (ten stone)
Ten stone--the wind am over
Jenny get along, Jenny blow the horn
As we go marchin' over

The possum jump and the panther roar,
Way hey and a hilo
Been dancin' this dolly since half past four.
Way hey roll and go.

It's ten stone (ten stone)
Ten stone--the wind am over
Jenny get along, Jenny blow the horn
As we go marchin' over

If the sun don't shine then the hens won't lay,
Way hey and a hilo
And if you don't work then the boss won't pay.
Way hey roll and go.

It's ten stone (ten stone)
Ten stone--the wind am over
Jenny get along, Jenny blow the horn
As we go marchin' over

The gals they say, "you're a bunch of liars,"
Way hey and a hilo
"You're bound to hell for to feed them fires."
Way hey roll and go.

It's ten stone (ten stone)
Ten stone--the wind am over
Jenny get along, Jenny blow the horn
As we go marchin' over

And if you drown when you are young,
Way hey and a hilo
It's better to drown than to wait to be hung.
Way hey roll and go.

It's ten stone (ten stone)
Ten stone--the wind am over
Jenny get along, Jenny blow the horn
As we go marchin' over

We dig your ditch with a silver spade,
Way hey and a hilo
Well there ain't no diggin' in a watery grave
Way hey roll and go.
