Back to Possum Pie
POSSUM PIE. AKA and see "Carve dat Possum (1)," "Bile Them Cabbage Down." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One Part. The tune is identified by Thede as a Negro 'banjo tune' and the precursor to the fiddle tune "Bile Them Cabbage Down."
Carve that 'possum Hannah,
Carve that possum soon;
For the pan is ready,
And I am the spoon.
Also, from William C. Blades' Negro Poems, Melodies, Plantation Pieces, Camp Meeting Songs etc. (1921, p. 52):
Carve that possum, Hannah
Carve that possum soon,
For the pan am ready
And here am the spoon;
Carve him in de quarters,
Carve him in de thigh,
And carve that possum, Hannah
Foh a possum pie.
Carve that possum, Hannah
Carve the fat and lean,
For that meat am the juiciest
That I have ever seen;
Carve him in de quarters,
Carve him in de thigh,
And carve that possum, Hannah
Foh a possum pie.
