 17 Rock the cradle Lucy, While I sing you anoder song. Talk about your Taglioni, And say she jumps so high, Miss Lucy lept a five-barr'd gate, Made all de Niggas fly; And when eber Lucy trabels, She always leaves de mark Ob her footsteps in de grable, You can see dem in de dark.-Oh, &c. Miss Lucy she is handsome, All ober she is chaste, Just five yards round de shoulders, And six yards round de waist; She went to a ball de oder night You neber see de like afore She danced about so bery light, And went bang throngh de floor. -Oh, &c Oh, I does like that nigga well, I think she does like me, And if I had her by my side, How happy I should be; I like de white one and de black, And ebery one ob de rest, I like that one that does like me, But I like myself de best.-Oh, &e.

NIGGER JACK OF TENESSE. As sung by Mr Russell. The queerest chap I ever see Was Nigger Jack of Tenesse; His nose was fat his feet were thin, And his under lip hung ober his chin- Re, Ro, my true love; Do come along my darling: Don't let our parting grieve you Yaa, yha, yha, yha, yha, yha, yha, Come along my darling ober de mountain.
