13 Strings and A Two Dollar Bill - “How Many Biscuits Can You Eat?“

Tomcat Wyatt Yurth & The Notorious Nora Jean (13 Strings and A Two Dollar Bill) pay tribute to a bluegrass classic sometime around 2003 at one of Asheville’s favorite busking spots, Woolworth Walk, a few feet from Pritchard Park, another busking hotspot. Author unknown, “How Many Biscuits Can You Eat?“ was first recorded in 1928 by Dr. Humphrey Bate and His Possum Hunters It was performed by the Coon Creek Girls in the White House on June 8,1939 for President and First Lady, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, who were entertaining King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England. Not the WH performance, but from the Coon Creek Girls - Lyrics Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (44 biscuits and a ham of meat) (This mornin’, for breakfast, so soon) {Verse 2} Oh, when you see me looking straight (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, when you see me looking straight (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, when you see me looking straight (Comin’ to get this biscuit plate) (This mornin’, for breakfast, so soon) {Verse 3} Oh, when you see me looking mean (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, when you see me looking mean (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, when you see me looking mean (Bacon and eggs had better be seen) (This mornin’, for breakfast, so soon) {Instrumental Break} {Verse 4} Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (This mornin’, this mornin’) Oh, how many biscuits can you eat? (44 biscuits and a ham of meat) (This mornin’, for breakfast, so soon) from L-HIT
