Letra
A man that was old come a-courting one day
And the girls wouldn’t have him
He come down the lane on a walking cane
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him a chair
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him a chair and he looked mighty queer
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to hang up his hat
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I hung up his hat and he kicked at the cat
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him some meat
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him some meat, and oh how he did eat
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him the hoe
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him the hoe and he jumped Jim Crow
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him the saw
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him the saw and he played «Rye Straw»
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to put him to bed
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I put him to bed and he stood on his head
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to send him away
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I sent him away and he left Christmas Day
With his overshoes on and his leggings
Tradução da letra
Um homem que era velho veio cortejar um dia
E as raparigas não o queriam.
Ele veio pela rua com uma bengala
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para lhe dar uma cadeira.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Dei-lhe uma cadeira e ele parecia muito estranho.
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para lhe pendurar o chapéu.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Pendurei-lhe o chapéu e ele pontapeou o gato.
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para lhe dar carne.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Eu dei-lhe um pouco de carne, e oh como ele comeu
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para lhe dar a enxada.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Dei-lhe a enxada e ele atacou o Jim Crow.
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para lhe dar a serra.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Dei-lhe a serra e ele tocou "Palha De Centeio"»
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para o pôr na cama.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Deitei-o e ele ficou de cabeça para baixo.
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
A minha mãe disse-me para o mandar embora.
Porque as raparigas não o queriam.
Mandei-o embora e ele foi-se embora no dia de Natal.
Com as suas ofensas e as suas leggings
