Captain, Captain |
As' my captain |
What time o' day |
As' my Captain |
What time o' day |
He just look at his watchman |
An' he walk away |
Wouldn’t mind working |
Captain, from sun to sun |
Wouldn’t mind working |
Captain, from sun to sun |
Long as you pay me my money, Captain |
When payday come. |
Tol' my Captain |
That ol' Maude was dead |
Tol' my Captain |
Ol' Maude da Mool was dead |
«Nigger, don’t mind that ol' mule. |
Whoop the harness on Ned.» |
Went all 'round |
That ol' whole corral |
All 'round |
That ol' whole corral |
Lord, couldn’t find a mool |
Wit' his shoulders well |
Two years ain’t long |
Six months ain’t no great long time |
Two years ain’t long |
Six months ain’t no great long time |
Got a friend in penitention doing nin’y-nine |
Oughta been down on the river |
In the year nineteen and ten |
Oughta been down on the river |
Year: nineteen and ten |
Women wo' the ball and chain |
Jus' like the men |
