Lyrics

Hitch my horse up to my hack Buckled my banjo to my back The Buckle broke and the banjo flew Devil got the buckle and the banjo too Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree Wake up, sister, don't you sleep so late Keep your eye on the golden gate Get out and dance by the light of the moon See Uncle Eph from fetching in the coon Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree What kind of slippers does the angels wear Slippin' and slidin' on the golden stairs? Golden slippers and silver socks Drop your nickel in the missionary box Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree When Ephraim told this world goodbye He went to heaven to his home on high Told Saint Peter to make room Here comes Ephraim, fetchin' in the coon Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree Old Uncle Eph was a good old soul Washed his face in the butter bowl Bumped his head on the mantle piece And fell right into a bucket of grease Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on Gone on, gone on Uncle Eph's got the coon and gone on And left us lookin' up a tree
