Say, is the negro going to win?
To tell the truth it amt no sin,
Just stick to us until the end,
And we will make them Germans

That must be them American mig

How come we can't fight until we

Until we make them leave their

Just lend your money to the Liberty
Loan;
Buy war stamps and read the paper,
Everything happen will be in our fa-

To tell the truth it amt no sin;
You know we negroes are going to
win
The Kaiser knows the negro has the
fighting vim;
He knows he is hanging on broken
i limb.
For what's going to become of him
No one can tell;
But we intend to give him --.
To tell the truth it amt no sin.
The Kaiser knows the nogro's going
to win.
Roosevelt knows we will fight,
If we are half way treated right.
To fight war for the negro is fun,
For all negroes know how to handle
a gun.
Just give us a chance and we. will
eat them up raw.
We are not going to stop
Till we break the Kaiser's jaw;
For the world is going to say
When we pull the triggers,
That must be them Southern niggers.
We fought the battle in 1898;
We fought the Spaniards and their
hearts did ache.
We met the Spaniards on San Juan
HILL
We had them at our will.
We won the fight, we fought for
fame;
We didn't get nothin-'twas a shame.
Ii we win this time we'll get prize;
Mr. Wilson looks like he will sympa-
thize.
To tell the truth it amt no sin;
The President knows we are going
to win.
When we kiss the flag of Red, White
and Blue,
We promise America to be loyal and
true.
Now, do for us what you can do;
For we expect to win, or die for you.
To tell the truth it amt no sin,
We negroes certainly are going to
win.
