Papa Charlie Jackson Drop That Sack
Now I got a gal : works in the yard
She brings me meat : she brings me lard
Only thing : that keep me barred
People she works for : don't allow me in the yard
Going to tell you one thing : it's a natural fact
Want you to come on home : and drop that sack
Now I got a gal : she lives on the hill
Took our corn : to the sugar mill
Still I know : I wouldn't take no salt
I'll grind your corn : into sweet jellyroll
I asked for one : she brought me two
Down to the crap game : me and you
Got two dollars : my point was nine
Police come a‑running : and the *chips* went flying
Said I went to the Gypsy : to get me a hand
See my gal walking : with another man
I said you may go : you'll come back
If you ever come back : you got to drop that sack
