VIRGINIA JUBA.
As sung by Christy's celebrated Band of Minstrels.
Ruberii the cinnamon, seed the Billy hop in just
in time, Juba dis, Juba dat, round the kittle possum fat, A-hoop a-hoy, a-hoop a-hoy, double step for
Juberii, Sandy crab, de macreli, ham and half a pint of Juba,
Want to borrow two or three eggs, a picayune
a dozen, Stir about the hominy hot, the pig is in the
cellar; Neighbor, neighbor, lend me your ax, lend you
mine to-morrow, I keeps de axe to use myself, who'll turn the
grindstone.
Forty pound of candle grease, sittin on de mantle piece,
Don't you see ole Granny Grace, she look so ugly in face:
Yankee Doodle come to town, claim Maria for his own,
Git up dar, you little nigger, can't you pat for Juba.
Up the wall down the 'tition, gib me a knife
sharpjas sickle, To cut that nigga's wizen pipe, that eat up all
the sassengers; |
