PICKIN' ON A HARP.
Copyright. 1887, by W. F. Shaw.

I's gwine to jine dat happy throng,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
Is swine to sing dat lubly song,
Pitkin' on a harp wid de golden strings.
Come, sisters, all, I'll meet you dar,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
We'll leab de banjo an' guitar,
Pickin' on a harp wid de golden strings.

De Mefodis an' Baptis', too,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
Am waiting dar for me an' you,
Pickin' on a harp wid de golden strings.
Don't be so aggravatin' slow,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
You ncbber will be fixed to go,
Pickin' on a harp wid de golden strings.

Before we go we'll pass de hat,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
An' den we'll know yes where we're at,
Pickin' on a harp wid de golden strings.
If you don't gib you're money free,
Pickin' on a harp, pickin' on a harp,
My brudder, you will nebber be
Pickin' on a harp wid de golden strings.
