When Yo' Hear de Big Bell Ring.
Copyright. 1888, by Geo. M. Klenk & Co.

Come 'long fo' yo' got no time ter lose.
When yo' heah de big bell ring;
Don' be skeer'd an' tremble in yo' shoes,
When yo' heah de big bell ring.
De preachers will tog in der Sunday clothes.
When dey heah de big bell ring;
Ef dey's gwine up er down, well, no one knows,
"When dey heah de big bell ring

Chorus.
Ho! dar. yo' sinnahs,
Jine de angel ban'!
Scoot, happy niggahs,
'Way ter de golden stran':
Whaow! Aunt Zenoby!
Tell de pickaninnies sing.
Unc' Bijy, twang de banjo!
When yo' heah de big bell ring'
Oh! git de chickens from de pens.
An' de roosters an' de hens,
Au' de watermillyuns an' eb'ry ting;
Hab a barrel ob rye, an' a cartload ob pie.
When yo' heah de big bell ring.

Yo' kin do de cake-walk, dance and shout.
When yo' heah de big bell ring;
But don' raise Cain er yo'll git fir'd out.
When yo' heah de big bell ring.
In dat lubly lap', coons, yo'll hab ter pray,
When yo' heah de big bell ring;
An' yo'll " allus git three squar' meals a day;
When yo' heah de big bell ring.-Chorus
