While we did not have "Liar! liar!Pants on fire," we did have a version of "Tattle tale tit," and also an accusatory rhyme for cowardice:
Coward! coward!
Buttermilk soured.
Hasn't been churned in twenty-four hours.
When this was resented, the accused might say:
"You're a liar."
"You're another one and a dog if you take it!"
If a fight began, bystanders would chant:
Fight! fight!
Nigger and a white.
Who's the nigger
and who's the white?
