Rove Riley Rove

Rove Riley Rove

Rove Riley poor boy

Ain’t got nowhere to go

Mama give me meat

Daddy give me bread

Pretty girl give me one sweet kiss

Like to done killed me dead

Possum is a funny thing

He rambles in the dark

Only time you know he's there

Is when you hear old Ranger bark

Daddy had a great big house

A hundred stories high

Every story in that house

Was filled with chicken pie

Went up on a mountain

Done stripped me a load of cane

Make me a barrel of molasses

Sweet Miss Liza Jane
