Lyrics:
First verse
Dear Liza I've a dang'rous reputation, And a desp'rate diserposition when I start, So don't talk of divorce or separation, For if you leave me gal, you'll break my heart, The coons all say you've hypnotized me, And hold me by some strange and magic spell, Why I loves you I don't know, You're homlier than an old black crow And why I linger 'round you Lize, I'm blessed if I can tell.
Chorus
You're not good looking, You're a big fat ugly coon, You're not so stylish for your clothes am out of tune, You are de blackest wench dat ever crossed de pike, Yet dar's somethin' about yer I like. like.
Second verse
You yaller half-breed you're an imitation, Don't you make no bluffs ‘bout what yer gwine to do, You're far beneath my dignity and station, There's icy coldness in my heart for you, Beware of my angel face I warn you, I'm a good friend but a very bitter foe, You can't scare a little bit, I'll cut your wings so you can't flit you unsophisticated wench, What makes me love you so?
(Chorus)
