Plantation Pieces, Camp Meeting Songs
MANDY'S SOLILOQUY
The Lord almighty mighty
Have mercy on my soul, Just hear them niggers praying,
Just see them eyeballs roll; And when I see them niggers
And hear them niggers pray, I surely think the Lord am gwine
To strike them dead some day.
There's nigger Rastus Johnson,
He am a funny coon, He loves to go a roving
When the cloud am on the moon; And they do say Rastus Johnson
When he begins to pray, Must surely tempt the good great Lord
To strike him dead some day.
And as for that Jim Henry
I see upon his knees, The Lord have mercy on my soul
To see such coons as these; For when I see them niggers
And hear them niggers pray, I surely think the Lord am gwine
To strike them dead some day.
