1. I saw Uncle John come riding by. Says I, ’Uncle John, your horse will die.’ ’If he does. I’ll tan his skin. If he don’t. I’ll ride him agin.’ Chorus:Clear the kitchen, old folks, young folks. Clear the kitchen, old Virginia never tire. 2 As I went up the new-cut road I spied a possum and a toad. Every time the toad did jump The possum dodged behind the stump. 3 The gals are so proud they won’t eat mush. And when I go to court them they say ’Oh hush,’ I wish I was back in old Kentuck, For since I hove* her here I had no luck.
