POSSUM BALLS bluegrass song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

possum balls possum balls
deep fried cajun possum balls
when I'm blue
critter stew
and deep fried nawlins possum balls

I grew up in backwoods LA
brother me and maw and paw
didn't have no lectric stove
just a fire and banjos

when I's hungry take my gun
go back in the woods and run
shoot a squirrel or what I could
possum balls were mighty good

possum balls possum balls
deep fried cajun possum balls
when I'm blue
critter stew
and deep fried nawlins possum balls

some fools like to point and joke
call us backward Delta folk
but living off the land is hard
put them here and they would starve

when your stomach takes a beatin'
you'll find possum ball's good eatin'
you learn to do what you can
true in Tex as Alabam

possum balls possum balls
deep fried cajun possum balls
when I'm blue
critter stew
and deep fried nawlins possum balls
