Away down Souf

S. Foster

We'll put for de souf -- Ah! dat's the place,

For the steeple chase and de bully hoss race--

Poker, brag, eucher, seven up and loo,

Den chime in N——s

, won't you come along too.

Chorus:

No use talken when de N---- wants to go,

Whar de corn-top blossom and de canebrake grow;

Den come along to Cuba, and we'll dance de polka juba,

Way down souf, whar de corn grow.

My lub she hab a very large mouf,

One in de norf, tudder corner in de souf;

It ams so long, it reach so far--

Trabble all around it on a railroad car.

I went last night to see my Sally--

Two story house in Pig tail ally,

Whar de skeeters buz, and de fleas dey bite,

And de bull dogs howl and de tom cats fight.
