ADVENTURES OF JIM CROW
JIM CROW'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN THE GALLERY.
Here's de leaping Nigger,
Berry well you know
Him handsome face and figure,
Jumping Jim Crow.
Turn about wheel about
And do jis so;
Walk into the gallery
And jump Jim Crow.
If you down upon your luck,
Neber care a pin,
Noting cures de devils blue
Like a hearty grim.
Comicalities you've had,
To keep de game alive,
Four good Numbers, and Jim Crow
Now offers No. 5.
Turn about and wheel about,
And do jis so;
If yon do not split your sides
I'm not Jim Crow!
Of soldier, lawyer, parson,
We have seen de phizzes,
Barber, tailor, cobbler, and
Many real quizzes—
Now hab got a fresh lot,
As you soon may know,
And one that won't be soon forgot,
Dat's Jim Crow
Turn about and wheel about,
And do jis so;
Freely put your threepence down,
And jump Jim Crow!
Corporate Nobs in plenty,
All great men, no doubt,
Berry partial to Champagne,
Love a good tuck-out!
Of Alderman and Sheriff
We'll treat you wid a sketch,
And of de ugly customer
Dey call Jack Ketch.
Wheel about and turn about,
And do jis so;
Neber want his sarvice
To finish Jim Crow.
Boys you'll find in plenty,
Nigger no tell lies,
Laugh to see de precious lot,
Ebery sort and size—
Boys who drive cabs patent
Furious troo de street,
Boy dat take out physic,
And boy dat carry meat.
Turn about and wheel about,
And do jis so;
Trow physic to de dogs, say I,
And jump Jim Crow.
Hungry boy of cliarity,
Skinny as a rat,
Moder's pretty darling boy,
Berry plump and fat-
Lazy little schoolboy,
Boy dat sings out 'pot,'
Wid many other rum boys,
Nigger hab forgot.
Turn about, wheel about,
And do jis so;
Come and have a dish of fun,
And jump Jim Crow.
Here you'll find how coaches
Travell'd long ago,
Neber no capsizing,
Berry sure, but slow;
Den see how much quicker
Modern stages run,
Berry fast, but not so safe,
Break de neck like fun.
Turn about and wheel about, &c.
By and by dose coach
Go widout a team,
Engineer for Jarvey,
Rattle on by steam;
Crack goes de boiler,
Shocking ting, you know,
Better pad de hoof wid me,
And jump Jim Crow.
Turn about and wheel about,
And do jis so;
Berry bad when boiler crack,
And smash Jim Crow.
