Lyrics:
I once did lub a colored Gal
Whose name was Suzy Brown,
She came from old Virginny,
She was de fairest in de town;
Her eyes so bright, dey shine at night
When de moon am gone away,
She used to call this darkey up
Just afore de broke of day:
chorus:
Wid a who dar? who dar? who dar?
An' a who dar a knocking at my door?
Am dat you Sam? Am dat you Sam?
No you better stop dat knocking at my door.
Stop that knocking.
Stop that knocking.
Oh! you better stop that knocking at my door.
Stop that knocking.
Stop that knocking.
Oh! you better stop that knocking at my door.
Stop that knocking, stop that knocking,
stop that knocking, stop that knocking,
Oh! you better stop that knocking at my door.
Stop that knocking, stop that knocking,
stop that knocking, stop that knocking,
Oh! you better stop that knocking at my door.
She was the prettiest yaller Gal
That eber I did see,
She never would go a-walking,
Wid any Color'd man but me.
And when I took my Banjo down,
And played three tunes or more,
All at once I heard three raps, pretty hard,
Come bang again' my door
Oh de first one dat cum in de room,
Was_a darkey dressed to death,
He looked just like de showman,
What dey used to call Mackbeth.
He said he was a Californi man,
And just arrived on shore,
I ax him whare fore he cum an rap,
So hard against my door.
