I Love Nobody, Nobody Loves Me.
Copyright. 1896, by Dave Marion & Co.
Words and Music by Sim Williams.
Once I loved a yaller gal, her name was Martha Jane,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
The way that gal mistreated me, it really was a shame,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
I bought her Ice cream soda, I thought I had her sure;
I called on her one evening, said I loved her more and more,
Then she said, "You foolish nigger," And she kicked me out the door,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
Chorus.
In those days I was highly connected,-
By the colored population, near und far, I was respected:
When that nigger wench said to me: "Coon, you are rejected,"
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
She was not so pretty, on her face there was a mole,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
They say she loves another coon, whose face Is black as coal,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves me.
They say be weighs two hundred pounds and that he is a sight;
His face it is so very black, you can't see him at night,
So I'm gwine to get a razor, and I'll hunt him with a light,
Now I love nobody, nobody loves tan.-Chorus.
