	Negro PoemSj Melodies
	BEFO' DE WAH I was bo'n Sah in a cabin, A cabin very small, It didn't have a chimney And it didn't have a hall; But it had a big sunflower Growing round the door, And this was long ago, Sah, Long befo' de wah.
	Long befo' the wah, Sah, Long befo' de wah, The darkies they were singing, The banjos they were ringing, Down in old Virginia Long befo' de wah.
	I was bo'n down in the Souf, Sah, Upon a little farm, The days were bright and sunny And the nights were bright and warm; The rabbit and the turtle Would come around the door, And this was long ago, Sah, Long befo' de wah.
