Her hair is like de shining silk, Oh, now she's gone, &c. Oh, since she's gone and left me, Oh, now she's gone, &c VIRGINIA'S LUBLY GROUND. ON old Virginia's lovely ground, Many an hour I lazed away; In listening to de Banjo's sound, Dat come from de hut across de way Sweating I leaned on my old hoe, And gazed upon de cornfields fair; Wondering why dey would not grow, Widout dis darkies hoe was dar, Oh ho oh ho ho on old Virginia's &c. Oh how delightful 'tis to stand, Where silky tops and corn leaves meet Looking at de new hoe'd land, As it crumbles at our feet. To watch young Dinah as she trips, And chased by Sam away she clips, Oh oh, &c. To hear de sound ob de banjo sigh, BLACK EYED SUSYANNA. Он l'se been to the east, I'se been to the I'se been to Louisiana, But of all the gals that I love best, Is black eyed Susyanna. Oh she is black,-dats a fact, Oh I'se been to the east, I'se been to the I'se been to Louisiana, But of all the gals that I love best, Is black eyed Susyanna.“ www OI wrote a letter to my love, I took them both to church one night, But the only one that took the shine. A LIFE BY THE GALLEY FIRE. Where de coppers am boiling wild, A life by de galley fire, Where de coppers am boiling wild It suits, it suits, it suits, it suits, When in de caboose I go, De turkeys and gobblers look, For den dey all know, Full well dat I am de slaughter cook De turkeys look, De gobblers wink dar eye, For den dey know full well, Dat one of de flock must die. A life by de galley fire, &c As through de streets I strut, An de vittles I serve out, To de poor and hungry souls. A life by de galley fire, Where de coppers am boiling wild, It suits, it suits, it suits, it suits, DE NIGGA GAL'S DREAM; OR, I LOVED I dreamed dat I libed in hotel halls, And ob all de buck niggas dat sarved in dem walls, Dat I was de pet an' de pride.
