21 Wheel about and turn about, And do just so; Ebey time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow.

I used to take him fiddle, Every morn and afternoon, And charm de use buzzard, And dance to do race Wheel about, &c.

At last I went to sock my fortune; Got up by break of day, Left my ole shoes behind me, And off I ran away, Wheel about, &c.

I came to a riber, Which I couldn't git across, So I gibe couple of shillings For an ole blind horse. Wheel about, &c.

Den I jump about big ship, And come across de sea, And landed on ole England, Whar de niggers am free; Wheel about, &c.
