Possum's Just Layin' in the 'tater Patch

from Rabbits in the Moonlight by Marc Nerenberg

about

“Possum’s Just Layin’ in the ‘tater Patch” is a somewhat re-written (by me) old folk song about three animals’ struggles to keep themselves fed. The melody of this song appears to have begun as a Québec fiddle tune in the 1800s, that has spawned numerous musical and lyrical off-shoots upon arriving in diverse locations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, with this off-shoot being found in Virginia and Mississippi.
