BALLAD OF THE BLACK BEANS

 .

.

.

Oh, listen my friends and you shall hear


A tale of the time it took


To soak the beans and boil the beans


But the beans just wouldn't cook

.

.

I put the beans on in the morning


Boiled those beans all day


Every time I checked the pot


The beans were boiling away

.

.

I tried the beans every hour or so


But they never did get soft


I finally gave up at bedtime


And turned the burner off

.

.

Friends please heed my warning


Check for when the beans were sold


Because black beans will never, ever cook


If they are too old

.

.
