YOU LOVE YOUR GIRL
You loves y6' gal ? Well, I loves mine. Yo' gal hain't common ? Well, my gal's fine.
I loves my gal, She hain't no goose— Blacker 'an blackberries, Sweeter 'an juice. |

FRIGHTENED AWAY FROM A CHICKEN-ROOST
I went down to de hen house on my knees, An' I thought I heared dat chicken sneeze. You'd oughter seed dis Nigger a-gittin' 'way frum
dere, But 'twusn't nothin' but a rooster sayin' his prayer. How I wish dat rooster's prayer would en', Den perhaps I mought eat dat ole gray hen. |
