Hurrah, Lie!
Seed a flea heave a tree,
Hurrah, Lie!
Seed a flea heave a tree,
Well done, fool!
Seed a flea heave a tree,
Forty miles in the sea;
Yore an' ole blind drunkard
an' I'm a jolly fool!
Seed th' wood cut the axe,
Seed the chickens chewin' wax.
Seed an eel eat a seal,
Seed an apple with nary a peel.
Seed a hant climb the stairs,
Seed the badman sayin' his prayers.
Seed a rat ketch a cat
Ef you can tell a yarn that's bigger'n that,
From Ethel Park Richardson's book American Mountain Songs (1927)
this is the only American version of Martin Said to His Man
I've ever encountered. RG
