Sometime we'd go see us a girl on the mule's back, you know,
and we'd holler coming on back on the mule's back.
Sometime we'd walk, rode the mule to see the girl.
I tell you what, if you'd holler before you got there,
she'd smell a little better when you got there.
Because she'd been chopping cotton all day and everything,
and hadn't had time to get fixed up much if you just walked right in.
So I'd usually try to holler a little bit before I got there.
Something like one of these tunes I've just hollered.
Maybe something like that.
Lula Madalena, something like that.
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
Now getting up and making a funny fuss with these things,
that's not what it's all about.
Yeah.
Used to call the cows,
Coins, coins, coins.
That's the way you called a cow.
You called a mule or a horse,
Grubby, grubby, grubby.
See, a hog call is like this here.
Woo.
Then, coins, coins.
That's just two different calls, two different sounds.
And the cow, she learned the coins to come,
and the hog comes there to holler.
Their animal, they've got some sense.
If they're in a small pasture, you would say,
Woo.
Woo.
Woo.
Then if they're in a big pasture, you'd say,
Howl.
Howl.
Howl.
Howl.
Howl.
Now if you're here in the early of the morning,
and I'm really bearing down,
I can make him hear me way down here.
If you're here early in the morning when it's cool.
When it's cool and clear,
and the smoke's going straight up out of the chimney,
is a good time to holler.
I love to holler when I can hear my echo just going on,
on and on through yonder.
