American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 Git Away From Dat Window

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4

GIT AWAY FROM DAT WINDOW.

Hop along, sister Mary, hop along,
Hop along, hop along;
Hop along, sister Susie, hop along,
And well get dar just in time.
See de sun set in de evening
Up in de field ob com;
Oh, niggers, do take warning
When Gabriel blows his horn.

Chorus.

Git away from dat window, my love and my bride,
Git away from dat window now I say,
Call around some oder night,
For dere's gwine to be a fight,
Dar'll be razors a flyiu' through de air.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six,
Glory hallelujah 1
The ye'ar I got my jawbone fixed,
Glory hallelujah!
I hung my jawbone on de fence,
Glory hallelujah!
I haven't seen my jawbone since,
Glory hallelujah!-Chorus.
