voice Coll. by M.C. Parler Sung by Mr. T.M. Davis Fayetteville, Ark. November, 30, 1953 Reel 169 Item 6 ("This is a song that was used by the colored section hands in West Tennessee several years ago. The used it to beat time to tamp their ties by.") A Rowdy Soul Your children played in my backyard, And I never said a word about it; I ain't no hand to raise a row, But, man, when I get started. Refrain I'm a rowdy soul, I'm a rowdy soul, I wouldn't let a nigger in a mile of me. You take Sal and I'll take Sue, I'll tell you what we will do, We'll take them to the dry-goods store, And dress them up in calico.
