/ The Civil Rites Bill wich orr Moses put
his foot ontc, we thonght wux. dead.
And we fred great guns. and hung ont
our flags, wich We laid aside in 1860, and
made a joyful noise.
For we said one unto another, 10! he is a
true Moses, inasmuch ez he is leadin US
out Nv the wilderness. -4
The Civil Rites Bill wuz the serpent wat
;bit Us, and he histed it, that we might look
and live. ssEa
Now let us be joyful. ~.
For the Ethiopian is delivered into our
hands, bound hand and foot.
Blessed be Moses.

We looked at the nigger and said, ha ba |!

The Ablshnists cast out one devil, and
garnished the room. but there wuz seven
devils more stronger and hungrier wich

Blessed be Moses!
But our song Nv joy wuz turned into a vale
Nv anguish.
Moses songbt to hist the serpent, but the
serpent histed him.
He's on pole and the bitin north wind is
BLOWN onto him.
He can't get up any higher because the
pole amt any longer. and he can't get down
because there amt no place to lite onto.
He vetoed the bills and Congress has
vetoed him-the Civil Rites Bill they passed
in a Incivil manner.
Now, bein the nigger hez rights, he is

books destroyed he will soon be our supe-
rior
We wuz willing to give him the right Nv

set his face agin ourn.
Our wise men may make laws to keep him
in his normal speer, but NV wat avail is

We.kin buy and sell him no more. neither
he or his children.
The men will cleave unto their wives and
the wives unto their husbands, and our hand

Vale! for Moses put out his hand to save
us these indignities. but his hand wus too
weak.
We killed Linkin in vain.

Jaxon he'd policy wich he Good carry ut,
and Moses hez policy wich he can't carry

And ez he can't carry out his policy, the
people are carryin it out for him.
