Had an old horse, his name was Ball, Hitched him up but he wouldn’t pull at all. 
Chorus: Hey jim-along, jim-along Josie, Hey, jim-along, jim-along Jo. 
Swung my hick’ry an’ Ball he sprung We bid fare-thee-well to the wagon tongue. 
Fire in the mountain, fun, boys, fun, Cat’s in the cream jug, run, gals, run. 
Hogs in the ’tater patch, that I know, Cows in the cornfield told me so. 
First to the white house, then to the jail, Tore my pants on a rusty nail. 
Old dog Towser standin’ on the gate, Smelled meat a-fryin’ an’ he said he couldn’t wait.
