Good Old Cabbage Greens Lyrics - Washboard Sam

I'm goin' back south in New Orleans 

Get myself some of them cabbage greens 

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens 

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens 

I love my cabbage like a horse likes grass 

'Cause they is right in my class 

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens 

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens 

Beat it out, boy 

I love my cabbage 

Give me cabbage for my dinner, cabbage for my desert 

Oh, when I don't get my cabbage, boy, how it hurt 

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens 

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens 

My wife woke up at night, hurts me in the side 

Says, "Get up here, Daddy, I've got yo' cabbage fried" 

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens 

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens 

When you give me greens and don't give me no meat 

Woman, you know that's one thing, knock me off my feet 

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens 

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens
