Lyrics:
The lyrics of this song are not included here because they use terms for African-Americans and depict them in ways that by today's standards are offensive and objectionable. A copy of the 1896 sheet music for the song is held in the New York Public Library and may be viewed online at digitalcollections.nypl.org
Ernest Hogan (Ernest Reuben Crowders) (c1868-1909), 1896
