Hey sir, can I get some ice cream?
Well no sir, uh, you gotta pay for that son

That's okay, I got my daddy's money

Uh, can I get a large, uh, vinty pinky drink with no coffee but a lot of extra sugars and Sweetener
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh this looks so good, like, I love coffee
Ahem
Once upon a time there was a boy named Jake, cotton farmer in Alabama
Now, this man named Jake, he had twenty nine slaves
Only three wives though, that's pretty good for the 1800s
No husbands of course
Of his twenty nine slaves, twenty nine of 'em were black.

Now, they worked really hard and they got a third of a penny a day
That makes, like, little over two pennies a week
Wow, that's really good for a slave back then

Y'know, if they just saved up for like forty years they might be able to buy an ice cream Cone
Yeehaw!
Now on his farm, he had a lot of cotton
Not really that much corn
That's okay though
'Cause his wife named Heather made some qualify roast beef
She was the cook of the family
She was trainin' her daughters
Now if they were Indian they would probably have an arranged marriage
But that's not how it worked in the 1800s

Alright, let's talk about someone else now
Let's talk about Mr. Kin
Now, Kin was Jake's neighbor, alright? Let's talk about him
Alright, so there was this man named Kin, right, Jake's neighbor
Only livin' four or five miles away
Yeehaw, I'm ridin' my pony down the street
Then there's Jake sittin' right there eatin' his quality roast beef
I stop by to see if I can get a bite or two 'cause I don't got no wife
That's okay, I learn how to do everything all by myself
Long story short I got some of the roast beef, mmmm, so good

So I went to Jake's place while he was out in the fields whippin' his slaves
And I picked up two of his wives at the same time
He didn't know it was me, and he took it to court to find the... wife-napped people
I got away with it and I lived happily ever after
Jake didn't
Although one wife is enough, right?
So, I sold my other wife away and I was able to buy four ice cream cones with that Mmm, so worth it

Anyways, we, uh, we died at about fifty three years old because we didn't have medicine Back then
So we made it, we had a great life, had a great time
Even with my twelve kids, I got all my slaves
That's the story about a man named Jake everybody
Next album we'll hear about his kids
Peace out buttercups
