A HIGH OLD TIME. Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Harms & Co Words and Music by Harry C. Talbert. 
Oh. my, don't you hear me humming? We'll have a jolly time. Join in the ranks, everybody's coming, We'll have a jolly time; Gwine to be a dancing match, give a goose away. We'll have a jolly time, Clear away de table, gwine to cut her loose, We'll have a jolly time, we will. 
Chor. We'll have a jolly time, won't them wenches shine? Come before you're late, pull out your pencil and slate, And make a note of the high old time. 
No use talking, we'll drive away the blues, We'll have a jolly time, Come up a walking in your low cut shoes, We'll have a jolly time; Sister Jane and Mary Ellen, We'll have a jolly time, Gwine to cut a big watermelon, We'll have a jolly time, we will.-Chorus. 
We'll have dancing, we'll have singing, We'll have a jolly time, Every coon in de house keep winging, We'll have a jolly time; Just you keep your bright eyes glancing, We'll have a jolly time, All the coons and wenches dancing, We'll have a jolly time, we will. - Chorus.
