Every Night I See That Nigger Standin' 'round - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
EVERY NIGHT I SEE THAT NIGGER STANDIN' 'ROUND. Copyright. 1898, by T. B. Harms & Co. By Joseph Hart & W. H. Matchette. 
The worstest nigger that I know steals and gets into a row, Just because He's nuthin' else to do; He went down to a colored church, knocked the deacon off his parch, Just because he'd nuthin else to do. Went to a colored ball, one night, drew his razor, started a fight, Just because he'd nuthin' else to do: In a policy shop did loudly shout, "l'se gwina to clean dis ere place out!" Just because he'd nuthin' else to do. 
Chorus. Ev'ry night I see that nigger stamlin' 'round, bangin' 'round; Ev'ry night I see that nigger walkin' 'round, talkin' 'round: Ev'ry night I see that nigger standin' 'round, hangin' 'round, Just because he'd nothin' else to do. 
One moonlight night he left his stoop to go and visit a chicken coop, Just because he's nuthin' else to do; Not a sound there could he heard, be said, "I'se gw me to get that bird," Just because he'd nuthin' else to do. The man that owned that coop had a gun-Lordy, how that, nig did run, Just because he'd nuthin' else to do: You see that bird was that man's pet. I 'specs that Digger's runnin' yet, Just because he'd nuthin' else to do.- Chorus. 
Got shaking craps with a lot of coons up in Reuben Snowball's rooms, Just because he's nuthin' else to do; Those niggers wished he was in heaven, for ev'ry shake he shook eleven, Just because he'd nothin' else to do: Won all they bud. but had to client-niggers chased him down the Street, Just because he d nnthin' else to do; Thro' an alley, my! but it was funny. He said, "I'll give you a run for yer money!" Just because he'd nuthin' else to do.- Chorus.
