Back to Whoop 'em up Cindy
WHOOP 'EM UP CINDY. AKA and see "Saro." Old Time, Song Tune and Breakdown. The song was recorded twice by Grand Ole Opry star Uncle Dave Macon in 1926, Sam and Kirk McGee and by Warren Caplinger's Cumberland Mountain Entertainers (Brunswick 241) around 1928 under the title "Saro." A few shared verses with "Cindy (1)." The lyrics are various; the McGee Brothers sang:
Rode up on the mountain,
Give my horn a blow,
Thought I heard my Cindy say
"Yonder comes my beau."
Chorus:
Whoop 'em up Cindy, Lord,
I love Cindy, Lord,
Whoop 'em up Cindy, Lord, Lord,
Gone Forevermore.
Goin' up on the mountain,
Give my horn a blow;
Thought I heard my Cindy say
Yonder comes my beau.
Rather be in Richmond
In all the hail and rain;
Than to be in Georgia, boys,
Wearing that ball and chain.
