A Negro Love Song
|
Seen my lady home las' night， Jump back， honey， jump back. Hel' huh han' an' sque'z it tight， Jump back， honey， jump back. Hyeahd huh sigh a little sigh， Seen a light gleam f'om huh eye， An' a smile go flittin' by—— Jump back， honey， jump back. Hyeahd de win' blow thoo de pine， Jump back， honey， jump back， Mockin'-bird was singin' fine， Jump back， honey， jump back. An' my hea't was beatin' so， When I reached my lady's do'， Dat I couldn't ba' to go—— Jump back， honey， jump back. Put my ahm aroun' huh wais'， Jump back， honey， jump back. Raised huh lips an' took a tase， Jump back， honey， jump back. Love me， honey， love me true？ Love me well ez I love you？ An' she answe'd， "'Cose I do"—— Jump back， honey， jump back. |
