Old Suke Blueskin fell in lub wid me,
She vite me to her house to fake a cup of tea,
What do you tink Old Suke had for supper ]

butter.
*0 mv ole Misse is verv mad wid me.
Because I wouldn't go wid her an' lib in Tennessee
Massa build a bam dare an' put in all dc fodder.
Dare was dis ting an' dat ting an' one ting anoder.
As I was a gwoin down de new cut road,
I met a little tarapin looking at a toad;
An' jist at every time de toad begin to jmnp,
Tdrapin hide himself behind a burnt stump.
Dat tarnal criter Crockett, he neber say he prayers,
He kill all de wild cats, de coons an' de bears
An' den he go to Washington to help make de laws,
An' dare he find de Congressmen sucking ob dei?
paws.
If I was de President ob desrf United States,
I'd suck lasses candy an' swing upon de gates,
An' dose I did'nt like I'd cross em off* de docket,
De way I'd row 'em up would be a sin to Crockett
7 tell you what's a gwoin to happen now very soon,
De United States bank will be blown to de moon.
Den all oder bank notes will be mighty plenty,
An one silver dollar be worth ten or twenty.
*0 glory be to Jackson, for he blow up de banks.
An' glory be to Jackson, for he many funny pranks^
AJQ' glory be to Jackson, for de battle of Orleans,
For dare he gib de enemy de hot butter beans.
