MEET A COON TO-NIGHT.
Copyright, 1888, by Will H. Kennedy
Oh, silver, silver moon, won't you shine on bright?
I'm gwine to meet a coon to-night;
Meeting in de valley by de pale moonlight,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night.
Hurry, Aunty Liza, for I won't stop long,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night;
Listen to de bell wid its big ding-dong,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night.
Chorus.
Meet a coon to-night, meet a coon to-night,
When de little stars are shining bright,
At de hour of eight, down by de garden gate,
I'se gwine to meet a dandy coon to-night.
Meet a coon to-night, meet a coon to-night,
When de little stars are shining bright;
At de hour of eight, down a by de garden gate,
I'M gwine to meet a dandy coon to-night.
The leader of de choir in de Baptis' church,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night:
Never stole a chicken off a hen-roost perch,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night.
Nigger went a fishing for a great big whale,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night;
Caught a little monkey wid a tom-cat's tail,
I'se gwine to meet a coon to-night.-Chorus.
