Dear Uncle Scip:
Use boun' TO write an tell you bout
de ball,
Dat de President Civ de cullud folks
up at de white house hall.
All of de black grandees wuz dar, n
sottin' roun' In line
Dressed up! you nebber seed de lax,
In close 80 mighty fine.
Lucindy Ann (you members her an
how she ulster hoe),
Wuz dar liked out all 1t TO kill, an
was better dan a show;
Her kinks wuz all ria up IN front, dey
call II pompado'
An histed up benin wild combs,
'twell II couldn't twist no more.
spose she done forgit her close, cause
che ain't got much on,
An uz naked all about her chlst, as
sho' AS you Is born.
Her arms look just like blogney sau-
sage, black an shinin fat,
An nebber had or rag on dem, now
what you tink o. dat
| clar dat gal ins made me laif, to see
her wild dem airs,
A struttin' round, and trompin up, an
down Miss Rosevelt's stairs
/ thought o. her an how she nsed to
wash folks dirty buds,
Dem big black arms sbinnin an a
rubin in de suds.
An wondered what Mars Washing
ton would do II he riz up,
An found n lot o'niggers eatiu' where
he used to supl
ellie ldey can't make niggers white
nor white folks niggers too,
No more dan turn de Chinee red, or
make de red man blue.
Dere ain no sort o. 'provement 10 be
made On Marster's plans,
An he made de different kin's o.
mans.
He never tended, bless yo heart, dat
possum and dat coons,
Should meet in de same boiler tree,
like lot o. crazy looms;
For dere is quite u difference, twixt
coon an possum'meat,
Coon's berry good, but possum Lawd
amt II mighty sweet
Den bosses, dey ain made 10 work,
de same ms big strong mules,
An white folks dey's lax bosses, an
niggers dey's lax mules.
All made by de oil Marster, who don't
make no mistakes,
Like MaFster Teddy Roosevelt who
seems 10 black folks takes.
Well tell you dat same 'ception was
de bigges kin o. show,
Dere wuz Creole Belle" Bill Bailey
too, deere wuz "Arabella Snow"
Der same black 'leadin' lady" who
on de stage would go,
An round dey sot a grinnen' wild
faces black as tar,
An wuz just ole common nigge-s, fur
all dey went up dar.
De white folks held dey noses, at
niger scent so strong,
An, you can bet yo' hand al "craps,"
dey didn't stay deere long.
Now Uncle Scip dar Is place dat's
good enough fur me,
An faint ny in de 'ception house o.
dis nation, though It's tree;
For nebber will dere come a time
when white folks will not rule,
An de Niger thinks he won't, is DIES
de bigger kin o. fool.
As long ~ I've got homes wuk an
strength to do It right.
Use head an ears above dat crew,
dat thinks deys out o. sight,
We ain cut out 10 do dere work, an |
dey cant do ours uuther,
So we must pend, wild kindly help, /
each one upon the other
But mark my wuds, Mars Teddy |
ain "a gwine 10 live much mo
In good ole Marster Georges house
an keep up sush "A show.
So goes on a sawin' wood an hear
what dey believe.
An Uncle Scip, I members what
you always told mo too,
Don't try 10 be moro dan what de
good Lawd wanted you
Q won't be- long twell cum back, 20
good old Texas So
IN just quit now, for soon you'll see,
