A HIGH OLD TIME.
Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Harms & Co
Words and Music by Harry C. Talbert.
Oh. my, don't you hear me humming?
We'll have a jolly time.
Join in the ranks, everybody's coming,
We'll have a jolly time;
Gwine to be a dancing match, give a goose away.
We'll have a jolly time,
Clear away de table, gwine to cut her loose,
We'll have a jolly time, we will.
Chor.
We'll have a jolly time, won't them wenches shine?
Come before you're late, pull out your pencil and slate,
And make a note of the high old time.
No use talking, we'll drive away the blues,
We'll have a jolly time,
Come up a walking in your low cut shoes,
We'll have a jolly time;
Sister Jane and Mary Ellen,
We'll have a jolly time,
Gwine to cut a big watermelon,
We'll have a jolly time, we will.-Chorus.
We'll have dancing, we'll have singing,
We'll have a jolly time,
Every coon in de house keep winging,
We'll have a jolly time;
Just you keep your bright eyes glancing,
We'll have a jolly time,
All the coons and wenches dancing,
We'll have a jolly time, we will. - Chorus.
