Year Of Jubilee




From: ONE TUNE USED WITH "BAA! BAA! BLACK SHEEP!"

Niggers, has you seed ole Mosser;
(Red mustache on his face.)
A-gwine 'roun' sometime dis mawnin',
'Spectin' to leave de place?

Nigger Hands all runnin' 'way,
Looks lak we mought git free!
It mus' be now de [18]Kingdom Come
In de Year o' Jubilee.

Oh, yon'er comes ole Mosser
Wid his red mustache all white!
It mus' be now de Kingdom Come
Sometime to-morrer night.

Yanks locked him in de smokehouse cellar,
De key's throwed in de well:
It sh[=o]' mus' be de Kingdom Come.
Go ring dat Nigger field-bell!

[18] Kingdom Come = Freedom.
