The man as will not fight for freedom isn’t worth a cuss,
And its better using niggers up than citizens like us.
So, Father Abraäm, if you please, in this here game of chess,
You’d better take the black men against the white, I guess,
And if you work the niggers off before Rebellion’s slain,
Which surely ain’t expectable,—apply to us again.
