My Brodder Gum

White Folks I'll sing for you,

Nuffin else to do,

Spend my time a pickin on de banjo, Hay!

Brodder Gum.

chorus:

My Brodder Gum,

My Brodder Gum so fair,

All de yaller galls runnin round,

Try to get a lock ob his hair.

Hard work all de day,

Hab no time to play,

Berry fine time a diggin in the cornfield, Hay!

Brudder Gum.

Tudder afternoon,

I thought I saw de moon,

Saw my true lub comin through de cane-brake,

Hay! Brudder Gum.

Went one berry fine day,

To ride in a one horse sleigh,

Hollow'd to de old hoss comin through de toll gate,

Hay! Brudder Gum.
