Rh :Hyah 'im scol' 'is mule so,
 * Wen 'e try to mek 'im go:
 * "Gee! Whoa! Come 'ere!"

O you jolly black boy,
 * Yod'lin' in de co'n,

Callin' to yo' dawlin',
 * In de dewy mo'n,

Love 'er, boy, forevah,
 * Yodel ever' day;

Only le' me lis'n.
 * As yo' sing away:


 * "O mah dawlin'! Who-ah!
 * Hyah me callin'! Who-ah!

Who-ah!"
 * Tu'n aroun' anothah row,
 * Holler to yo' mule so:
 * "Whoa! Har! Come 'ere!"
