	UNDER DE SHADE OB DE OLD GUM. TREE. Underr de shade ob de old gum tree, We happy, happy, niggas rove, We envy not those darkies free, Our toil and labour's o'er. Sitting beneath the moon's soft light, Or in de thiek and luscious shade, Telling-some tale wid fond delight, Ob a hansome Guinea maid. Under de shade ob de old gum tree. Now when de toil ob day am done, We tink ob hearts dat am akein, But our griefs will always change to fun When we see de hoe cake bakin, De possom on de fire roast, And fan de gumbo fixin, Ah! she's de darlin ob my heart, De pride ob mas6a's kitchen. Under de shade ob de old gum tree.
