Turkey For Mine 1905

Some high toned coons
have made the remark
that for fowl they have no use,
but when it came to favorite food
it was water melon full of juice.
'Twas at a dinner the other night,
they had turkey and melon stout,
but when Sam Jones said which will it be!
Loudly did they shout!

Turkey for mine, turkey for mine,
a nice big leg with some Cranberry sauce.
A piece of celery with some dressing of course,
and some sweet potatoes with some gravy across,
Turkey for mine, first and third,
I even love the feathers of that rare old bird,
No matter how red your water melons may be
It's turkey, turkey for mine.

Turkey for mine, turkey for mine,
a nice big leg with some Cranberry sauce.
A piece of celery with some dressing of course,
and some sweet potatoes with some gravy across,
Turkey for mine, first and third,
I even love the feathers of that rare old bird,
No matter how red your water melons may be
It's turkey, turkey for mine.

That water melon talk was only a bluff
and Sam felt very sore,
for he hadn't turkey 'nough to go round
and it was too late to get any more.
He said: "I don't know what I'm gwine to do.
I'd like to please you all,"
but when Sam Jones said which will it be!
Loudly did they call.

Turkey for mine, turkey for mine,
a nice big leg with some Cranberry sauce.
A piece of celery with some dressing of course,
and some sweet potatoes with some gravy across,
Turkey for mine, first and third,
I even love the feathers of that rare old bird,
No matter how red your water melons may be
It's turkey, turkey for mine.

Turkey for mine, turkey for mine,
a nice big leg with some Cranberry sauce.
A piece of celery with some dressing of course,
and some sweet potatoes with some gravy across,
Turkey for mine, first and third,
I even love the feathers of that rare old bird,
No matter how red your water melons may be
It's turkey, turkey for mine.
