WHO'S DAT HUGGIN' YOU, HANNAH BROWN?

Words by Katherine Stingg. Music by Emma R. Steiner

A little girl I own down South, her name is Hannah Brown;
She Is the prettiest girl on erf, but the biggest flirt in town.
Who's dat huggin'-you, Hannah Brown, out dar war de moon shines white?
I crept up close and my razor flew-dar was one less nigger that night.
Some folks called it murder, den, and some a tragedy;
But now, when Hannah sits in de moon, she only gets hugged by me.

Refrain.
Who's dat huggin' you, Hannah Brown,
Out in de old moonlight?
Who's dat huggin' you, Hannah Brown,
An' holdin' you so tight?-(Kissing noise)

Solo.
Somebody's gettin' kissed; look out, don't sprain your wrist!
Uh, uh, uh! Hannah Brown! Uh, uh! Hannah Brown!
Who's dat huggin' you, hoggin' you, huggin' you,
Who's dat huggin' you, Hannah Brown?

On summer nights de boys and girls rides past on de way from town,
And dey sings out loud as dey cross de road, "Whar are you, Hannah Brown?"
Who's dat huggin' you, Hannah Brown, out dar war de moon shines bright?
I sings out to dem darkey boys, "Is any of you lookin' for fight?"
Dey don't say much and dey rides away as meek as meek kin he;
An' now, when Hannah sits in de moon, she only gets hugged by me.-Refrain.
