Dis nigger ain't nobody's fool, oh, my law;
Go on a-hitchin' up dat mule, oh, my law;
'Cause we'e a-gwine 'way upon high, oh, my law;
We'e gwine a-swingin' in de sky, oh, my law.
Chorus.
Then run, you little niggers, run,
We's gwine to have a lot of fun,
Swingin' in de sky;
Den climb, you little niggers, climb;
We'e gwine to hah a jolly time,
Swingin' in de sky;
Oh! dar'll he dancin', singin', banjos ringin',
Up dar in de sky.
You'll hab to roll out seven-
Please come 'leven,
Swingin' in de sky. -
Now go to sleep, don't hab to wake, oh, my law;
Eat all de frostin' off de cake, oh, my law;
Put on your Sunday bib and tuck, oh, my law;'
If you don't, you'll lose your luck, oh, my law.- Chorus.
Dar's gwine to be a lazy coon, oh, my law;
A-shootin' craps upon de moon, oh, my law; .
Take all de kink out ob your hair, oh, my law;
Because you needn't pay no fare, oh, my law.-Chorus.
