Does anyone know what the background singer is saying during the chorus of “Tuesday Morning” on the Lucky CD?

About Tuesday Morning:
“J.T. [Jon Taylor] put some loops together for me, and on one he took this Civil Rights Gospel singer in the ’60s, named Ella Jenkins, and sampled her singing an old Gospel song: ‘Up and down this road I go, skipping and a-dodging to the .44.’ I was messing around with it, and hearing ‘skipping and a-dodging to the .44’ over and over, and it just started getting way inside me. It was February 2002, five months after 9/11, and I started writing ‘Tuesday Morning.’”
the lyrics:
Up and down this road I go
Skippin’ and dodgin’
From a 44

I love this song. Who ever thought we’d here a sample in a Melissa Etheridge song? (-:
