Pick Poor Robin Clean Songtext
von Luke Jordan

You better pick poor robin clean, poor robin clean
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn′t fit to eat

You'd better pick poor robin clean
Pick poor robin clean
But I′ll be satisfied having your family

Get off my money and don't get funny
'Cause I′m a nigger, don′t cut no figure
Gambling for Sadie, she is my lady
I'm a hustling coon that′s just what I am


You better pick poor robin clean, poor robin clean
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn't fit to eat
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn′t fit to eat
You'd better pick poor robin clean
Pick poor robin clean
But I′ll be satisfied having your family
Well didn't that jaybird laugh
When he picked poor robin clean
Picked poor robin clean, poor robin clean
Didn't that jaybird laugh
When he picked poor robin clean
Well I′ll be satisfied having your family

Well if you have that girl of mine
Gonna have your ma, your sister too
Your auntie three
If your great-grandmammy do the shivaree
I′m gonna have 'em all
I′ll be satisfied keeping up your family

You better pick poor robin clean, poor robin clean
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn't fit to eat
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn′t fit to eat

You'd better pick poor robin clean
Pick poor robin clean
But I′ll be satisfied having your family
Well didn't that jaybird laugh
When he picked poor robin clean
Picked poor robin clean, poor robin clean

Didn't that jaybird laugh when he picked poor robin clean
Well I′ll be satisfied having your family


You better pick poor robin clean, poor robin clean
I picked his head, I picked his feet
I picked his body, but it wasn′t fit to eat

You'd better pick poor robin clean
Pick poor robin clean
But I′ll be satisfied having your family

Well didn't that jaybird laugh
When he picked poor robin clean
Picked poor robin clean, poor robin clean, poor robin clean
Jaybird laughed.
When he picked poor robin clean
Well I′ll be satisfied having your family
