PICKANINNY POMPEY
Pickaninny Pompey
Smiling meek and bland, Says "Good morning, Massa,
I'se cum sah for the can.
"Mammy is a milking, The milk is in the pan,
And Mammy says go hurry And get the Massa's can."
And Pickaninny Pompey Wonder eyed and bland,
Says "Good morning, Massa" As I watch him stand.
I like this little Pompey And so I take his hand,
And say to little Pompey "Cum Sah when you can."
