WORDS FOR NIGGER MELODISTS.

When I lib in Ole Virginny,
I was no piccaninny;
I lub well a yaller gal,
Although her eyes wer squinny!

Chorus.
Corn cake corn!
Surry’s all forlorn;
Cake corn cake!
Sameo’s heart will break.

Dat yaller gal she whisper me,
“Oh, Sam, I want to married he!”

Yup! yup! I said, de sky am red,
And so you can’t be mar-ri-ed!
Chorus. Corn cake corn! &e.

Another twelwemonth past and gone,
Dat gal and I sit all alone,
Yup! yup! I said, your eyes am red,
Oh, Golly! we’il get mar-ri-ed!

Chorus.

Corn cake corn,
Sukk’s no more forlorn!
Cake corn cake,
Sambo’s heart won’t break!
