Since Rachel Ran Away with a Coon. Copyright, 1898, by Howley, Haviland & Co. Words! Tom Daley. Music by Gus Edwards. 
If you listen for a while, I'm apt to make you smile With something that you've never heard before. All the jews are most excited and the niggers are delighted, Over a coon who works in Cohen's clothing store. Cohen has a pretty daughter, she's as dark as Chicago water, And her face is just as round as the moon; And the cause of this commotion, is because she's got a notion That to change her luck she'll have to wed this coon. 
Chorus. Now all the coons in town are making preparations, for Such a funny little wedding never happened before; They're all putting three balls up over the door, And are playing "*stuss" instead of four-eleven-forty-four. They can't eat pork-chops now because that isn't "Kosher" meat; They're going in the clothing bus'ness down in Baxter Street. The jews have such a "headache "and their hearts ret use to beat. Since Rachel ran away with a coon. 
It will be a grand affair, all of Coontown will be there When the rabbi makes them man and wife; The coon is feeling funny 'cause he's going to get the money; He won't have to work a day in all his life. Cohen was going to have a fire in his store on Tuesday night, But he postponed it till Thursday afternoon; The poor man forgot to fail; he said he'd rather go to jail Than to see his daughter married to that coon.-Chorus. *Jewish term for poker.
