One, two, three, fo', five, six, seben, eight; All de good chilluns goes in de Pearly Gate. But all de bad chilluns goes the Broad Road below, To segashuate wid ole man Joe.
BLACK-EYED PEAS FOR LUCK
One time I went a-huntin', I heared dat 'possum sneeze. I hollered back to Susan Ann: "Put on a pot o' peas."
Dat good ole 'lasses candy, What makes de eyeballs shine, Wid 'possum peas an' taters, Is my dish all de time.
* Segashuate means associate with. fRead first stanza of "Sheep Shell Corn," to know of ole man Joe.
