NEGRO DIALECT VERSES 213
Refrain :
Oh Loo, John, oh Loo ;
Whar is dat hole dat de hog got thoo ?
I rid him 'roun' de mountin',
Whilse de people wuz a'countin'; Oh Loo, John, oh Loo. His foot struck a rock, an' Hit jarred a loose a fountin'; Oh Loo, John, oh Loo. Den he flew to de eas', an' He flew acrost de mountin'; Oh Loo, John, oh Loo. Den he flew outen sight
En we drunk f'um de fountin'; Oh Loo, John, oh Loo. |
