Lyrics:
First verse
O, white folks listen to dis song, dat I am gwine to sing, Of a pretty little yaller gal, who danc'd de wiginping! Her eyes were bright as de stars at night, Her teeth were like de snow; One pleasant night, wid heart so light, To see her I did go.
Chorus
For she was de prettiest yaller gal dat ever I did see, She was de princess ob my heart, And she was de gal for me. For she was de prettiest yaller gal dat ever I did see, She was de princess ob my heart, And she was de gal for me.
Second verse
I went to see dis colored gal one pleasant night in May; When in de field my work was done, I had a holy day, I took her out a walking and to her I did say ""My dearest gal, I lub you so, oh! hab me now I pray!""
(Chorus)
Third Verse
She gib consent to hab me if I would only say I'd lub her now and ebermore and nebber run away; To giv her proof I lubed her, I for de parson went, Since den I've lib'd in harmony and happy days I spent.
(Chorus)<br
