DE GHOS' CAT
De ghos' cat wauks in de dark ob nite;
His feet am padded en his step am lite;
En he grabs de sinner en, karries him' way
Ter burn en ter burn twel de jegment day.
De ghos' cat wauks all eroun' en eroun';
En he nebber meows, nebber mecks er soun';
But he lays on yo' bres' en sucks yo' bref
En karries you 'way ter de house ob def.
De ghos' cat's comin'! you sinners, lookout!
He's waukin' eroun' en eroun' erbout!
En he's ready ter jump on one en all,
Dat aint pervided wid de hebbenly call!
