+
+Oh child come to me and just sit down by my knee,
+I'll tell that same old story just once more;
+Of dark, clouded years, oh, so full of bitter tears,
+In those bondage days of long before the war.
+In rice-field and in cane, there the black man felt the pain,
+The driver's whip it cut him ev'ry day;
+Our good Lord above, with his never dying love,
+Made that cruel, cruel slavery pass'd away.
+
+Oh child, in those times then I liv'd among the pines,
+Yes, in an old log cabin I was born;
+Then I heard the moan when the mothers lost their own,
+In those bondage days, oh thank the Lord they're gone.
+That Iron chain and band they grow rusty in this land,
+No more the blood hound hold the slave at bay;
+So we bend the knee to the Lord that made us free,
+For that cruel, cruel slavery pass'd away.
+
+Oh I don't complain, it will never come again,
+So all our little children, black and brown;
+They ne'er can be sold for that yellow shining gold,
+For sweet Freedom, child, she has put on her crown.
+She came here in the night, oh then might gave in to right,
+Old Abra'm Lincoln brought about the stay;
+So shout Hallelu--there's a lot of work to do,
+For that cruel, cruel slavery pass'd away.
+
+_CHORUS._
+
+ Oh shout Hallelujah, Freedom ever rules the land,
+ Go bend your knee, black people for to pray;
+ The shackle and the band has fell from the Bondsman's hand,
+ And that cruel, cruel slavery's pass'd away.
+
+
+
+
+OLE SHADY.
+
+THE SONG OF THE CONTRABAND.
+
+
+Oh! yah! yah! darkies laugh wid me,
+For de white folks say Ole Shady's free,
+So don't you see dat de jubilee
+Is a coming, coming,
+Hail mighty day.
+
+CHORUS.
+
+ Den away, away, for I can't wait any longer,
+ Hooray, hooray, I'm going home.
+ Den away, away, for I can't wait any longer,
+ Hooray, hooray, I'm going home.
+
+Oh, Mass' got scared and so did his lady,
+Dis chile breaks for Ole Uncle Aby,
+_"Open de gates out here's Ole Shady a
+coming, coming,"_
+Hail mighty day.
+
+_Chorus._
+
+Good bye Mass' Jeff, good bye Mis'r Stephens,
+'Scuse dis niggah for takin his leavins,
+'Spect pretty soon you'll hear Uncle Abram's
+coming, coming,
+Hail mighty day.
+
+_Chorus._
+
+Good bye hard work wid never any pay,
+Ise a gwine up North where the good folks say,
+Dat white wheat bread and a dollar a day,
+Are coming, coming,
+Hail mighty day.
+
+_Chorus._
+
+Oh, I've got a wife, and I've got a baby,
+Living up yonder in Lower _Canady_,[A]
+Won't dey laugh when dey see Ole Shady
+A coming, coming,
+Hail mighty day.

+
+SONG AND CHORUS
+
+Words by ARTHUR W. FRENCH.

+Music by HERBERT HERSEY.

+Copyrighted, 1876, by JOHN P. PERRY & Co.
+
+
+'Twas many years ago I left de sunny South, to roam
+Up North, de happy day dat I was free;
+From massa an' ole missus, too, and all de folks at home,
+Whose faces now I neber more shall see;
+I'se trabeled night and day to see de dear old place once more;
+De cotton fields, de ribber, and de mill;
+But most of all, where I was born, in happy days before,
+In de little log cabin on de hill!
+
+Oh, I remember ebry day, when all our work was o'er,
+We'd hear de bones' and banjos' sweet refrain,
+While all de darkies danc'd and swung around de cabin door;
+Dem happy times will neber come again;
+We'd hunt de possum and de coon until de mornin' fair,
+An' laugh and shout, so gay and jolly still;
+Such joyous, happy darkies, an' we had no tho't of care,
+In de little log cabin on de hill!
+
+Upon de ole plantation there is no one left I know;
+De folks are wand'ring all so far away,
+An' strangers meet me ebrywhere, yes, ebrywhere I go!
+But round dis ole place Ise a-goin' to stay;
+Dar's one spot left, they say, where I can evermore remain;
+Dar kindness makes my poor heart throb and thrill;
+Ise growin' ole and weary, so I'll neber roam again
+From de little log cabin on de hill!
+
+CHORUS.
+
+ Oh de little log cabin, yes, de cabin on de hill;
+ It's standing there, the same old cabin still;
+ 'neath de dear old roof I'll lie,
+ An' I'll lay me down an' die,
+ In de little log cabin on de hill.
+
+
+
+
+DARKEY SAM.
+
+SONG AND CHORUS.
+
+Arr. by J. YOUNG, Esq.
+
+
+1
+
+Oh my name is Darkey Sam,
+And I'se a black-eyed contraband;
+ Down on de Chickahominee I was born;
+But old massa run away,
+When de Linkum sogers play:
+ So, I started for de Norf in de morn....
+I soon met wid a man,
+And he took me by de hand,
+ And he brought me to de Bobolition meetin:
+Dar de brudders made a speech,
+And de sisters 'gan to preach;
+ Dey said dat my complexion was light,
+And de world dey would teach
+What a point dey could reach,
+ And dey'd show dat dey could wash de nigger white.
+
+CHORUS.
+
+ I soon met wid a man,
+ And he took me by de hand,
+ And he brought me to de Bobolition meetin:
+ Dar de brudders made a speech,
+ And de sisters 'gan to preach:
+ Dey said dey could wash de nigger white.
+
+2
+
+Dey got me very soon,
+And dey put me in a room:
+ Dis nigger couldn't tell what dey was after;
+Dey took off all my clothes,
+And den what does you suppose?
+ Dey put me in a tub of boilin' water!
+And den dey got around,
+And some scrubbin'-brushes found,
+ And said dey'd wash me whiter dan paper.
+Oh! dey got me in a tub,
+And dey all began to rub:
+ I tell you it was a pretty sight!
+For, some put on de soap.
+And de oders dey did scrub,
+ But dey found dey couldn't wash de nigger white.
+
+3
+
+De next thing dey done
+For to make de color run,
+ Dey began to rub me wid sand paper:
+Oh! dey nearly killed me dead,
+But dey only made me red:
+ I tell you it was an awful caper!
+Den dey whitewashed me so slick,
+But de lime it wouldn't stick:
+ I, golly! I was just as black as ever!
+Den dey got a lot of hay,
+And dey rubbed and scrubbed away:
+ Oh! dey kept at it all dat night;
+But den dey found, next day,
+Dat de job it wouldn't pay,
+ 'Kase dey neber could wash de nigger white.
+
+4
+
+When I found dat dey was tired,
+Says I: Gemmen list to me,
+ And you will find dat I am a right, man;
+De nigger will be nigger,
+Till de day of Jubilee;
+ For, he nebber was intended for a white man;
+Den just skedaddle home,
+Leave de colored man alone;
+ For, you're only makin trouble in de nation;
+You may fight, and you may muss,
+You may make a heap of fuss,
+ But you nebber will make tings right,
+Until you all agree
+For to let de nigger be:
+ 'Kase you'll neber, neber, neber wash him white.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
