Under me is burnin the fire Nv rage wich
is bein c0ntinyOoally fed with the oil ~
disappointment.
And ! bile over
The Civil Rites B.u wich our Moses put
his foot onto, We thought wuz dead
And We fred great guns, and hung out
our flags. which We laid aside in 1850, and
made a joyful noise
For we said one unto another lO' he is a
true Moses. inasmuch eZ he is a leadin Us
ont NV the wilderness.
The Civil Rites Bill wuz the serpent wat
bic Us and he histed 1t, that we might look
and live
Now let us be Joyful,
For the Ethiopian is delivered into our
hands, bound hand and foot
Blessed be Moses
We will make him grind our corn bur he
shell not eat thereof
Blessed be Moses
We will make him tread out our wheat,
but We will muZzle his mouth
Blessed be Moses
He shall pick our cotton but the hire he
receiveth he shall stick in his eye without
, inJuring the sight thereof
Blessed be MOaes
He shall toll in the sugar mill, but the
sugar shall he not sell
Blessed be Moses
His sweat shall nourish our corn, but he
shall eat nary ear thereof
Blessed be Moses
We shall burn his skOOl houses and de-
stroy his spellin books (tOr shall the niger
be our superOry) and who shall stay our
hand
The skOOl teachers will we tar and feath-
er and whar is the bloc kOted hirelins TO
make US afeerd?
Blessed be Moses
We looked at the nigger and sBid ha hal
The last state Nv that chattle is wus nor
the fust, for before We had his labor vile
he WIS strong and healthy, but had to take
care on him when he was sick and old, and
now we kin git his labor without the care.
Blessed be Moses
The Ablshnists cast out one devil, and
garnshed the room, bat there wuz seven
devils more stronger and hungrier which
rushed in and pre-empted the premises.
Blessed be Moses
But our song nv JOY wuz turned into a
vale Nv anguish.
Moses sought TO hist the serpent, but the
serpent histed him.
He's on poll and the bitin North wind
is BLOWN onto him.
He can't GIT up any higher because bis
pole amt any longer and he cant git down
because he amt no place to light onto.
He vetoed the bills and Congress hez We
toed him-the Civil Rites Bill they passed
in an uncivil manner.
Now, bein the nIgger hez rights, he is our
ekal
Our ekal is the Niger now, and onless
the skOOl-hOuses is burned and the spellin
books destroyed be will soon be our supe-
rior.
We wuz willin to give him the right Nv
bein sued, but alas he kin sue.
He KIN be a witness agin Us, and he kin
set his face agln ourn.
Our wise men may make laws to keep
him in his normal speer, but ~ wat avail
is they.
We kin buy and sell him no more, neither
he nor his children.
The men will cleave unto their wives and
their wives unto their husbands, and our
hand is pOwerlis to separate EN-.
Their children kin we no more put up al
auction and sell TO the highest bidder, We
pocketin jOyfully the price thereof.
They have become sassy and impudent,
and say. Go 10. are we not men.
