Boil ‘Em Cabbage Down (D Major) | Melody Tutorial & Play-Along

"Boil 'Em Cabbage Down" (Roud 4211, also "Bile 'Em Cabbage Down") is an American folk song. Hoecakes are small cornmeal cakes that were cooked on a type of iron pan called a hoe. A breakfast of hoecakes and cabbage soup testifies to the humble origins of this song. According to Alan Lomax, musicologist and folklorist formerly of the Library of Congress, this tune was originally associated with African slaves brought from Niger. Notable versions of the song have been played by such artists as Pete Seeger, Ruby Jane Smith and the Smothers Brothers. Sam Hinton sings the song in the album How the West Was Won (1959).
