Also known as "Possum up a Gum Stump," this was based on an African-American dance song during the time that leaders like Andrew Jackson kept slaves who had to hunt for raccoons and opposums to stay alive. This song has since become a hit with minstrel and Blue grass groups. 'Possum up the gum stump Dat (That) raccoon's in de (the) holler Twis' (Twist) 'im (him) out and get 'im down An' I'll gin (give) you half a dollar.
