Tail an’ ves’ ub his cut low,
Jes’ had all de flouncin’ sistahs
Leggin’ fo’ to be his boh.
Bruddah Hookey he puzzided;
Felt so big he thowt he’s king;
Tuck er ball bat, rapp’d fo’ ordah,
Said, let’s cleah ah th’oats an’ sing.
Well, he tuck his pussnel meedah,
Gib de linin’ ub de hymn,
An’ dey sing’d de “Weepin’ Moses”
