Don't You Trifle with Me, Honey.
Copyright, 1894, by T. H. Harms & Co. .
Words and Music by Percy Gaunt.

If yer lookin' for a little callud lady.
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it;
My complexion's almost just a little shady,
Don't yer trifle with me, honey, don't yer do It.
I'm goin' to de ball, keep a-dancin' till I fall,
An' my snuff I'm goin' ter have where I can chew It;
If yer lookin' for a little cullud lady,
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it.

Chorus.
Who said I holler'd at der last cake walk?
Who said I holler'd, do yer hear me talk?
I'm a cullud lady, an' my face is somewhat shady,
But yer mustn't trifle wid me, honey, dear.

When I done git on de floor and am a-walkin',
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it;
All de yaller coons am jealous wid dere talkin'.
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it.
I win a cake one night, an' dem nigs dey had a fight,
Den dey took de cake an' smashed it, den dey threw it,
But dey didn't hit dis little cullud lady;
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it.- Chorus.

It yer lookin' for a pretty cullud lady,
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it;
When yer ring de front-door bell and ask for Sadie,
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it.
If you ever mention cake, then my razor I will take,
An' I'll carve yer like as If a storm went through it;
If yer looklin' for a pretty callud lady,
Don't yer trifle wid me, honey, don't yer do it. - Chorus.
