Good Old Cabbage Greens Lyrics

Good Old Cabbage Greens lyrics

I'm goin' back south in New Orleans

Get myself some of them cabbage greens

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens



I love my cabbage like a horse likes grass

'Cause they is right in my class

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens



Beat it out, boy

I love my cabbage



Give me cabbage for my dinner, cabbage for my desert

Oh, when I don't get my cabbage, boy, how it hurt

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens



My wife woke up at night, hurts me in the side

Says, "Get up here, Daddy, I've got yo' cabbage fried"

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens



When you give me greens and don't give me no meat

Woman, you know that's one thing, knock me off my feet

Ooh, them greens, yes, them greens

Oh, them greens, they call them cabbage greens
