My dog treed, I went to see, (On children, on)
There was a possum up that tree, (On children, on)
And that possum began to grin, (On children, on)
I reached up and took him in, (On children, on)
Carve that possum Carve that possum, children
Carve that possum children How, come children come
Carried him home and dressed him on, (On children, on)
Hung him out that night to frost, (On children, on)
One way to cook the possum down, (On children, on)
First par boil then bake him brown, (On children, on)
Carve that possum Carve that possum, children
Carve that possum children How, come children come
Possum meat am good to eat, (On children, on)
Always fat and good and sweet, (On children, on)
Grease potatoes in the pan, (On children, on)
Greatest eatting in the land, (On children, on)
Carve that possum Carve that possum, children
Carve that possum children How, come children come
Some eat early and some eat soon, (On children, on)
Some like a possum and some like coon, (On children, on)
That possum's just the thing for me, (On children, on)
Old Rattler's got another up a tree, (On children, on)
Carve that possum Carve that possum, children
