BULLY NIGGER AMOS-
Dere is no silver now-a-days,
And money dat has flew— Except lets of postage-stamps,
And greenbacks cut in two: Shinplasters now are all de rage, * .
Most all are good for noffin; I s'pects dey'll ask per-centage,
By-and-by, on sojer-buttons.
Den, white folks, etc.
I wish de white folks, ob de Norf And Souf, would list to me:
I'd tell dem dat de o*hly way Is to let de nigger be;
As darkeys, in our country's laws, Am an institution,
Just let dein end dis war
By laws ob de Constitution.
Den, white folks,, etc. |

Chorus—O white folks, pay attention, And listen unto me ; I am bully nigger Amos, Dat lives in Tennessee.
Oh, I know a thing or two 'Bout what de white folks do, And all about de question dat's kickin' up dis row; |
