Belle Of Baltimore - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
BELLE OF BALTIMORE. 
I've been through Carolina, I've been to Tennessee; I've trabelled Mississippi, For massa set me free. I've kissed de lovely Creole On Louisiana shore; But I never found a gal to match De blooming Belle of Baltimore. 
Chorus. Oh, boys, Belle's a beauty, Eyes so bright and cheeks so sooty; No gal, I ever seen before, So sweet as Belle of Baltimore. 
My Belle is tall and slender, And sings so very clear; You'd think she was an owlingalc, If once her voice you'd hear. I walked down to her cabin And I rapped ag'in de door; I want to gib my dagatype To my sweet Belle of Baltimore.-Chorus. 
I found her by de ribber, My errand I did tell; Says she: "You gay deceiber. Your tricks I know too well; I seen you kiss another gal De werry night before." Wid dat she turned upon her heel, And off went Belle of Baltimore.-Chorus. 
I wrote my lub a letter, And scented it so sweet: De musk, de clobes, de peppermint, Stuck out about a feet. But all my trouble was no use, I neber seen her more; For I squash'd de tender 'fections of My blooming Belle of Baltimore.-Chorus.
