HARD TIMES COME AGAIN NO MORE
How happy are the darkies As they sing this chorus o'er, Hard times come again no more. The cabin has a shutter And the cabin has a door; Hard times come again no more. There's a curtain in the window, And a carpet on the floor, Hard times come again no more. There's plenty in the cupboard And there's credit at the store; Hard times come again no more. And they sing aloud their praises, For the blessing ever more That hard times, hard times Come again no more. |

JONAH AND THE WHALE
The ark is coming up the road, Said Hannah Jordan, with a load, And I guess I'll get aboard Before that river I have to ford; And besides said Hannah pale I don't like that Jonah Whale, And if that ark done try to balk Ah can jes' get out and walk. |
