I'se gwine to be bohn in de grace of Gohd;

Ain't you gwine to come to my bohnin'?

Come along-a sisteh, come along-a bruddeh,

Come along-a one an' a come along de uddeh,

Bring along a frien' an' a-bring along anuddeh;

Ain't you gwine to come to my bohnin'?

De debbil done temp' me to visit his roof;

De debbil he's allus a follerin';

I stomp my foot on de debbil's hoof;

Don' you hear de debbil a-hollerin'?
