 At last I went to seek my fortune, got up by break day

Left my old shoes behind me, and off I ran away.

Veel about, &c.

I came to a riber, which I couldn't get across,

So gib a couple of shillings for an old blind horse

When I got up de oder side, I drove him up a hill,

Oh, but de oder side look'd rather daffakil.

Den 1 jump aboard on big ship, and cum across o sea,

And landed on ole England, where de nigger a free.

Veel about, &c.

In New York I went to a nigger meeting,

It was on a Sunday night,

To see old broder Clem,

Dat dey say can read and write.

Turn about and veel about,

And do jis so;

Ebery time I turn about,

I jump Jim Crow.

Vhen I got to de meeting-house,

Dey say you better go,
