Stand Back Black Man[7]
From:
DANCE RHYME SECTION
Oh!
Stan' back, black man,
You cain't shine;
Y[=o]' lips is too thick,
An' you hain't my k[=i]n'.
Aw!
Git 'way, black man,
You jes haint fine;
I'se done quit foolin'
Wid de nappy-headed kind.
Say?
Stan' back, black man!
Cain't you see
Dat a kinky-headed chap
Hain't nothin' side o' me?
[7] In a few places in the South, just following the Civil War, the
Mulattoes organized themselves into a little guild known as "The Blue
Vein Circle," from which those who were black were excluded. This is one
of their rhymes.
