THE BALLAD OF GEETER TURNIP
Come and listen to my story 'bout a woman named Geeter
a poor swamp child, a real turnip eater
one fine day she was huntin for some greens
when out of the blue she come up with a scheme
Cafe Germaine, hoi polloi, hi-falutin
The next thing you know ole Geeter's got a plan
she packed up her pot and she packed up her pan
she said Dickeyville is the place I oughta be
I'll learn those Baltimorons 'bout turnip fricassee
So you alls invited in to have a little toot
and to sink your pretty teeth into good ole turnip root
Geeter style, with bacon grease
y'all set down now
