Oh! Lemuel my lark,
Oh! Lemuel my beau,
I’s guine to gib a ball tonight,
I’d hab you for to know;
But if you want to dance,
Just dance outside de door;
Becayse your feet so berry large
Dey’ll cover all de floor.

Go down to de cotton field!
Go down, I say!
Go down and call de Nigga boys all;
We’ll work no more to day.
Go down to de cotton field!
Go down, I say!
Go down and call de Nigga boys all;
We’ll work no more to day.

My woolly headed boy.

And Juliana Snow,

And she’ll be sure to go.

Oh Lemuel has gone to day
To take de morning air.
He makes de fiddle hum,

He rattles on de old jaw bone,
And beats upon de drum.
