   Running in the hot sun with a fever in my head
   Fever in my head, oh, Lord,

4. Molly said to Ten-Brooks: You're looking mighty squirrel,
   Ten-Brooks said to Molly I'm leaving this old world

   Men all a-hollering, old Ten-Brooks a- flying

   Molly's a beatin' old Ten-Brooks clear out of sight
   Clear out of sigh, oh, Lord,

8. Kiper, Kiper, Kiper, my son
   Give old Ten-Brooks the bridle and let old Ten-Brooks run
   Let old Ten-Brooks run, oh, Lord,

9. Go and catch old Ten-Brooks and hitch him in the shade
   We're gonna bury old Molly in a coffin ready made
   In a coffin ready made, oh, Lord,
   In a coffin ready made
