PLANTATION MELODIES. 69
We have songs to sing to de ladies fair, And dere names I'm gwine to tell;
Dere is "Kate Loraine" and 'Julia Green,'' De "Husking Song" and * Romping Nell*"
Chorus. And we're gwine, &c.
Dere is " Laughing Joe," dat good ole soul,
How he lub'd his darling " Sal!" Oh, he laff'd all de time when de priest was dai,
Case he'd got sich a pretty brack gal.
Chorus. And we're gwine, &c,
I can tell you whar dese songs do grow,
At Van Derbeek's store so fine j 'Tis just ober dar across de way,
Four Hundred and Seventy-Nine.
Chorus. And we're gwine, &c. |
