Plantation Pieces, Camp Meeting Songs
And Hannah wants some hoe cake, The hoe cake in the pan,
And then you hear a solo From the pickaninny band.
And Caesar Alexander
Is a quarreling in the sand,
Another active member Of the pickaninny band.
And all day long and evening
From Beersheba to Dan, They're playing and parading,
This pickaninny band.
THAT OLD FLY
That old fly done pester me— Go way dar and let me sleep, I hear him buzz and I hear him creep— Go way dar and let me sleep; You suah done make the angels weep— Go way dar and let me sleep, You bite the horse and you bite the sheep-Go way dar and let me sleep, And for the land's sake I don't want to die Boddered to death by that old fly.
