lyrics

Our names are Sals and Bonny, two rounder boys you know
We come around to Wallins Creek not many days ago
One she was blonde-headed, she’s fair-skinned and blue-eyed
The only thing they wanted to do was smoke cigarettes and car ride

The other one she’s black-headed, dark-skinned and black-eyed too
We never saw her smoke cigarettes but she belonged to the cigarette crew
They get out on the highway, they flag both up and down
The first men stops and picks them up, they’d go from town to town

September the 11th on Friday they both came down the road
There’s not been girls in this wide world can flag like them and go
They ask us for a cigarette, we have them both to roll
We give old Prince Albert but they’d rather have Old Gold

Although these girls is pretty as the flowers that bloom in May
But if they could get them one cigarette they’d car-ride every day

Adapted from the singing (and presumed composition) of Dawson "Little Daw" Henson. Recorded by Alan and Elizabeth Lomax on October 11, 1937 at Botto on Billy's Branch, Clay County, Kentucky.

Both are artist-workers with staunch undefinable standards for which they’ll fight tooth-and-paw. ... more
