Sal's Got a Meat- Skin
i. Shine, litde Lulu, Shine your best; Your poor old granny Gone to rest.
2. Lulu shouted; Lulu squalled; Lulu kicked a Hole in the ground.
3. Pennies makes nickles; Nickles makes dimes; I go to see Lulu gal
A whole heap of times.
BIG-EYE RABBIT
See "American Mountain Songs," by Ethel Park Richardson and Sig-mund Spaeth, New York, 1927, p. 100.
No local title. Obtained from Mr. C. L. Franklin, Crossnore, Avery County, North Carolina, who learned it when a child from his father, William Franklin.
Big eyed rabbit behind the pine;
Big eyed rabbit, you are mine.
Rabbit skipped; rabbit hopped;
Rabbit ate my turnip top.
I cocked my gun; the hammer flew;
I tore that rabbit square in two.
