You talk about a hard luck story,
what shall I do;
another coon has won ma baby,
she proved untrue;
I calledout to her home last evening,
knocked at the door;
Ma babe to my surprise,
she rolled dem scand'lous eyes
I never saw that gal so mad before!

Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,
ma baby, we never can agree.
I cooked all your meals
and I worked hard all day,
when I came home at night
you would take all my pay;
You're wrong babe,
why don't you pologise?
Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me;
Some black man has won your heart I see.
I stole birds at night
just for your appetite
and I washed all your clothes
and I treated you right. Oh!
Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,

Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,
ma baby, we never can agree.
I cooked all your meals
and I worked hard all day,
when I came home at night
you would take all my pay;
You're wrong babe,
why don't you pologise?
Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me;
Some black man has won your heart I see.
I stole birds at night
just for your appetite
and I washed all your clothes
and I treated you right. Oh!
Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me.

I looked in through the kitchen window,
to my surprise,
I saw the coon
who won ma baby,
make scand'lous eyes!
He said: "I moved your trunk this morning,
you've lost your home;
you never was no good
you wouldn't chop the wood,"
then slammed the door
and left me here to moan.

Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,
ma baby, we never can agree.
I cooked all your meals
and I worked hard all day,
when I came home at night
you would take all my pay;
You're wrong babe,
why don't you pologise?
Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me;
Some black man has won your heart I see.
I stole birds at night
just for your appetite
and I washed all your clothes
and I treated you right. Oh!
Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,

Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me,
ma baby, we never can agree.
I cooked all your meals
and I worked hard all day,
when I came home at night
you would take all my pay;
You're wrong babe,
why don't you pologise?
Oh! Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me;
Some black man has won your heart I see.
I stole birds at night
just for your appetite
and I washed all your clothes
and I treated you right. Oh!
Don't make dem scand'lous eyes at me.
