(West Central Dialect)
Song of the Drunken Man
My stepfather’s horse I’ve lost.
My wife I go to seek.
I don’t know where I’ll sing!
My stepfather’s horse I’ve lost.
Oh, I’ll go and sing in the Land of the Southerners.
I’ll follow my wife to the Land of the Southerners.
Gambling Song
Are you the one, can you guess me
When the northerner, the northern gives me up?
Are you the one, can you guess me
When the southerner, the southern gives me up?
This song is what I use to beat the southerners.
This song is what I use to beat the northerners.
They give me up if I sing this.
No one ever beats me if I sing this in a game.
