Talking Turtle Soup

Laverne a man from Po' Biddy
Raised by himself with no family

Lived off the land and by God's hand
His favorite was turtle soup real bland

One day he drank some toxic moonshine
Then the turtle started talking real fine

Laverne got scared and jumped in the river
He drank like a fish and swole his liver

Laverne could not eat turtle and taters again
He felt it was a real sin to eat talkin' kin
