From: Ozark Folksongs
GET UP AND SHUT THE DOOR
A. Sung by Mrs. Marie Wilbur, Pineville, Mo., May 12, 1930. Mrs. Wilbur said that it's part of a long ballad, which she heard sung by some tie-hackers near Pineville about 1900.
My hands are in the sausage meat,
Get up an' shut the door,
I won't get up an' I can't get up,
It will never be shut for me!
