Pick Poor Robin Clean

Hello there, Geeshie

Hello there, Slack

What are you doing down here?

Oh, I'm just down here trying to play these boys the new Cock Robin

Let me hear it, then

I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

Picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Lord, did that jaybird laugh when I picked poor Robin clean?

Poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

Oh, did that jaybird laugh when I picked poor Robin clean?

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Get off my money, and don't get funny

'Cause I'm a Negra, don't cut no figure

Then old Miss Sadie, she is my baby

And I'm a hustling coon, that's just what I am

You bet I picked poor Robin clean

I picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

But I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family

Yeah, won't be long now

Picked poor Robin clean

I picked his head, picked his feet

I woulda picked his body but it wasn't fit to eat

I picked poor Robin clean, picked poor Robin clean

And I'll be satisfied having a family
