Collected by Bob Blackston Sung by Mr. Ed Alford
For M. C. Parler Delmar, Arkansas
January 3, 1960
Reel 326, Item 6
Old Tom Wilson
Old Tom Wilson a fine old man Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his head with a wagon wheel,
And died with the tooth ache in his heel.
Chorus:
Walk Tom Wilson, walk, walk,
Walk Tom Wilson walk,
Walk Tom Wilson, walk in there And sweep that kitchen With a brand new broom.
Old Tom Wilson went upstairs to bed Swallowed down a possum's head,
The bones did fly and the mar "marrow" did sqush God almighty what a thunder gush.
Chorus
