American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Vinegar Shoes and Paper Stockings. 
I went down to New Orleans, I thought myself a man, I'jumped upon" the bully boat They call the Tallyvan. 
Chorus. Pick a tambourine, pick a tambourine, Vinegar shoes and paper stockings, get up, old horse' 
Yes, I jumped upon the boat, And looked all around. The engineer he whooped her up, And run the boat aground.-Chorus. 
I histed up the dishrag, I sot it to the breeze; It floated just like t'other. Like another half a cheese.-Chorus. 
The big dog he bow wowed, And bristled up his back; He thought he saw the pussy Peekin' through a crack.-Chorus. 
The old man loaded his gun,. I pulled the trigger; Slam, bang, went the gun. And down came a nigger.-Chorus. 
The captain's on the quarter deck, A scratchin' of his head, And jawing of the nigger That's heavin' on the lead.-Chorus.
