DON'T LISTEN.
Copyright, 1895, by J. Aldrich Libbey.
Written and Composed by Felix McGlennon.

Yaller gals, I'm going In warn you 'gainst a nigger dat I know,
Don't listen, don't listen;
He will sing outside your shanty and he'll pick de ole banjo,
Don't listen if you're wise.
he will sit upon de fence and say, "Oh, lub, you are divine ";
He will swear that he'll he true to you as all the stars that shine,
But he's said de same to eb'ry yaller girl in Caroline;
Don't listen if you're wise.

Chorus.
Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen to dat saucy nigger's lay;
If he says it's nice to spoon by de lubly silver moon,
Don't listen, for it's all de oder way.-Dance.

If dat nigger wants to visit you when mammy ain't at home,
Don't listen, don't listen;
If he wants you to go out with him and thro' the fields to roam,
Don't listen if you're wise.
If he comes a-knocking at de door and says do weather's wet,
If he wants to sit up to de fire and call you "honey pet,"
If he tell you dat you are de nicest yaller girl he's met,
Don't listen if you're wise.

Chorus.
Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen to dat saury nigger's lay;
If he tells you of de bliss of one long, sweet, ling'ring kiss.
Don't listen, for it's all de oder way.-Dance.

If he follows you about de fields and says, "My only one,"
Don't listen, don't listen;
If he says, "Oh, hug me hard, my honey," go and get your gun
Don't listen if you're wise.
If he says that love for you in his poor heart, has taken root,
Just explain to him the size of your expected daddy's boot;
Let your fader's bulldog loose on him and say, You nigger, skoot!"
Don't listen if you're wise.

Chorus.
Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen to dat saucy nigger's lay;
Let your daddy lift him so in de gutter wid his toe;
Don't listen, for it's all de oder way.- Dance.
