MY BRODDER GUM.
[1]
White folks I'll sing for you,Nuffin else to do.
Spend my time a pickin on de banjo,
Hay! Brodder Gum.
CHORUS.
My Brodder Gum,My Brodder Gum so fair,
All de yaller galls runnin round,
Try to get a lock ob his hair.
[2]
Hard work all de day,Hab no time to play,
Berry fine time a diggin in the corn-field,
Hay! Brudder Gum.
CHORUS.
[3]
Tudder afternoon,I thought I saw de moon,
Saw my true lub comin through de cane-brake,
Hay! Brudder Gum.
CHORUS.
[4]
Went one berry fine day,To ride in a one horse sleigh,
Hollow'd to de old hoss comin through de tollgate,
Hay! Brudder Gum.
CHORUS.
