O ole Zip Coon he is a larned skoler
O ole Zip Coon he is a larned skoler

Sings posum up a gum tree an conny in a holler
Posum up a gum tree, coonny on a stump
Posum up a gum tree, coonny on a stump
Posum up a gum tree, coonny on a stump
Den over dubble trubble, Zip coon will jump
Chorus:
O Zip a duden duden duden zip a duden day
O Zip a duden duden duden duden duden day
O Zip a duden duden duden zip a duden day

O ist old Suky blue skin, she is in lub wid me
I went the udder arter noon to take a dish ob tea
What do you tink now, Suky hab for supper
Why chicken foot an posum heel, widout any butter
Chorus:
Did you eber see the wild goose, sailing on de ocean
O de wild goose motion is a berry pretty notion
Ebry time de wild goose, beckens to de swaller
You hear him google google google google gollar
Chorus:
I went down to Sandy Hollar t other arternoon
And the first man I chanced to meet war ole Zip Coon
Ole Zip Coon he is a natty scholar
For he plays upon de Banjo Cooney in de hollar

For dey cotch old Packenham an rowed him up de first

So here de toast to old Zip Coon before he gin to rust
May he hab de pretty girls, like de King ob ole
