White Folks in the Parlor

From Miss Mamie Mansfield, c. 1922-25. Cf. 'Ole Massa in de Parlor'
and "Rich Man Rides on a Pullman Car,' No. 483.

1 \\ hite folks in the parlor,
Talking 'bout jelly and jam,
Talkin' 'bout 'most everything.
Didn't say a word about ham.

Chorus:

Ham, ham. ham is good and sweet ;
Put it in the pot, stew, or fry it —
Nothing better 'n ole ham meat.

2 'Possum in the corn fields,
Siding up the corn.

Rabbit say, 'You dirty dog!'
'Possum blew the horn.
