Tek a cool night, good an' cleah,   Skiff o' snow upon de groun'; Jes' 'bout fall-time o' de yeah   W'en de leaves is dry an' brown; Tek a dog an' tek a axe,   Tek a lantu'n in yo' han', Step light whah de switches cracks,   Fu' dey 's huntin' in de Ian'. Down th'oo de valleys an' ovah de hills,  Into de woods whah de 'simmon-tree grows, Wakin' an' skeerin' de po' whippo'wills,  Huntin' fu' coon an' fu' 'possum we goes.
