"The Glendy Burk"

Chorus.
Ho! For Lousiana
 I'm bound to leave dis town
I'll pack my duds and tote 'em on 
      my back
 When de Glendy Burk comes down

     
My lady love is six feet high
 And she wears de crinoleens
     
I'll work all night in the wide and 
   storm
I'll work all day in de rain
Till I make my [?]
 on de levy dock
In New Orleans again
Dey mow in de hay fields 
   way up here
And dey knocks der heads 
  wid de flail
Im bound for de souf 
 wha dey work in de 
    on  swamp
And roll up de cotton 
     bale

Dey make me mow in de hay field here
 And I knock my head wid de flail
I'm bound for de South wha dey work in de swamp
 And roll on de cotton bale
