Rise you up, my dearest dear, and present to me your hand,

VoiceColl. by Cornelia Bowman Transc. by MCP Mrs. Beth Winstead Evansville, Ark. January 13, 1960 Reel 336, Item 5 (Shoot the Buffalo) (A play party song) Rise you up, my dearest dear, And present to me your hand, And I'll march you in the station Of the far and distant land. Where the hawk shot the crow, And the buzzard stumped his toe, And we'll rally to the canebrake And shoot the buffalo. Rise you up, my nearest dear, And present to me your paw, And I'll march you in the station Of the land of Arkansas. Where you can shoot the buffalo, Break and shoot the buffalo, And rally in the canebrake And shoot the buffalo.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
