作曲 : Traditional/Christy & Wood
 In South Caralina de darkies go,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Dat's whar de white folks plant de tow,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Cover de groud all over wid smoke,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 And, up de darkies heads dey poke,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Keemo Ki-mo, Dar! oh whar?
 Wid my hi, my ho, and in come Sally singing
 Somtimes penny winkle, lingtum, nip-cat
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Sometimes things just go all wrong
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 The cotton grows short instead of long
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 What’cha gonna do if it don’t rain at all
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Things grow short instead of tall
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Keemo Ki-mo, Dar! oh whar?
 Wid my hi, my ho, and in come Sally singing
 Somtimes penny winkle, lingtum, nip-cat
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Milk in de dairy nine days old,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Frogs and de skeeters getting might bold,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Dey try to sleep but it ain't no use,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Dere legs hang out for de chickens to roost,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Keemo Ki-mo, Dar! oh whar?
 Wid my hi, my ho, and in come Sally singing
 Somtimes penny winkle, lingtum, nip-cat
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Dar was a frog lived in a pool,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Sure he was de biggest fool,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 For he could dance and he could sing.
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 And make de woods a-round him ring,
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
 Keemo Ki-mo, Dar! oh whar?
 Wid my hi, my ho, and in come Sally singing
 Somtimes penny winkle, lingtum, nip-cat
 Sing song Kitty can't you ki-me oh!
