62 CHRISTYS PLANTATION MELODIES.
But the proud and haughty creature Looked with cold disdain on me,
And with scorn on every feature Quickly answered, No-sir-ee, ah!
Chorus. Oh ! Miss Julia Tanner— Oh ! Miss Julia Tanner; I never saw such an ugly girl Since I left the Susquehannah! |

Dinah Green*
Music, with Piano Forte accompaniment, published by F. D.
Bentcen, Baltimore.
Oh! Dinah Green is the girl that I love, The pride of the town, my dark-eyed dove; .She's as graceful and light as a kitten at play, And dances divinely, the white folks say. With the morning's sun to the fields I go, And work all day with my shovel and hoe; But when he goes down, with my tamborine, I'm off to the cabin of Dinah Green.
Chorus. Oh ! I long all day for the hour to come To paddle my skiff to my Dinah's home; For many a moment of joy I've seen* In the cane-thatched cabin of Dinah Green. |

He may woo all night, he may woo all day, He may woo till the wool on his head turns grey; He may groan till the tears from his eyelids start, But in vain he will knock at the door of her heart.
Chorus. Oh! I long all day, &e. |
