Ah steps cum slo’ we’s wastin’ ’way,
Good bye, honey; good bye!
We’s had good times on dis ol’ place,
Good bye, honey; good bye!
We’s frollic’d in de possum chase,
Good bye, honey; good bye!
We’s picked de cotton, hoed de co’n,
We’s picked de berries spite o’ thorns,
We’s wocked at night, we’s wocked at morn,
Good bye, honey; good bye!
