Hop High Ladies, the Cake’s All Dough Songtext
von Uncle Dave Macon

Of all the girl′s I ever knew
Was crosseyed Kate from Kalamazoo
She was black as a buzzard and blacker too
But her head am yeller as a kangaroo

Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Such getting upstairs I never saw

One night to a supper we did go
She′s eating right and left you know
Oh how she made the loggers roll
She drank three kegs and hollered for more

Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Such getting upstairs I never saw


Now Katie weighed just three hundred pounds
Half of her weight was out on the ground
Pass her feet ′cause she couldn′t turn around
She had for to get clean out of town

Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Hop high ladies the cake′s all dough
Such getting upstairs I never saw

Two little niggers was alying in bed
The one was sick and the other dead
Send for the doctor, the doctor said
To Give that nigger some shortening bread

Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Hop high ladies the cake′s all dough
Such getting upstairs I never saw

Some girls smell like esteemed folks
Hippie girls smell like a darned billy goat
All their powdering up for style
Out of the city and not a-worthwhile


Hop high ladies the cake's all dough
Hop high ladies the cake′s all dough
Such getting upstairs I never saw
