Dolcy Jones

Oh! ladies dont you wonder

When I again appear:

I've just been ober yonder

To see my Dolcy dear;

For Dolcy steps so lightly

Among de bricks and stones,

Her eyes dey shine so brightly

Oh! dadda,

D'D'Dolcy Jones!

Chorus:

Bye, by, my darling!

Sleed to de rattle ob de bones!

Slumber till morning,

My lubly Dolcy Jones!

Oh! When I go a courting

I ride thr'o mud and rain;

I leave de old hoss snorting

At de corner ob de lane.

I find my Dolcy weeping,

And charm her wid de bones,

Bye'n bye I leabe her sleeping,

Oh! dadda, D'D'Dolcy Jones!

I went up town dis morning

To sing a little song;

Miss Dolcy send me warning

To bring my boots along;

For de yard is paved wid sinder,

And de house is built ob stones

And a head is at de window,

Oh! dada, D'D'Dolcy Jones!
