(Hello there, Geeshie Hello there, Slack What are you doing down here? 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 (Ah, Miss Sadie) And I'm a hustling coon, that's just what I am You bet I picked poor Robin clean... 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 Won't be long now 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
