Page:Humourous adventures of Jump Jim Crow (1).pdf/5

 By and by dose coach

Go widout a team,

Engineer for Jarvey,

Rattle on by steam;

Crack goes de boiler,

Shocking ting, you know,

Better pad de hoof wid me,

And jump Jim Crow.

Turn about and wheel about,

And do jis so;

Berry bad when boiler crack,

And smash Jim Crow.

I come from ole Kentucky, a long time ago,

When I first larnt to wheel about, and jump Jim Crow,

I us'd to take him fiddle, eb'ry morn and arternoon,

And charm de ole buzzard, and dance to de racoon

Veel about and turn about,

And do jis so;

Eb'ry time I veel abont,

I jump Jim Crow.

At hoeing of de sugar, or picking cotton, all de same

I us'd to beat de oder niggers, and give dem twenty in de game;
