An’ meny’s bin de day since mer cup wuz full—
O cum on wid yer money fur me!
While mer song do er about like ole Jim Crow,
Yer hearts will be happy an’ oberflow,
Ef yer cum on wid yer money fur me.
So cum er-long, cum er long an stan’ er round;
Let smiles on ebery face be found,
An’ cum on wid yer money fur me.
While I’se jes a nigger, pore an’ bline,
Dis shore am de song of yore race an’ mine;
