Fesia 1904

In far Liberia living content
under the rule of a coon President,
there was a maid and her dusky beau,
till they left home to go with a show.
She to play Topsy,
he was the one
to hold the hounds so Eliza could run.
Out West the troupe broke,
left them alone,
while counting ties
he sadly did moan.

Fesia, Fesia,
I love you dear,
don't have me tease you
let's g'way from here.
Can't you see my love is sincere?
Fesia let's go from here.

Fesia, Fesia,
I love you dear,
don't have me tease you
let's g'way from here.
Can't you see that dog is sincere?
Fesia let's go from here.

They reached a farmhouse dead on their feet
begged for a job and for something to eat.
Back to the woods he went cutting logs,
she milked the cows and fed all the hogs.
Supper is ready he heard them shout,
he rushed through the gate,
but the dog rushed him out.
So 'fraid was he they would eat it all,
weak as he was
to her he did call.

Fesia, Fesia,
I love you dear,
don't have me tease you
let's g'way from here.
Can't you see my love is sincere?
Fesia let's go from here.

Fesia, Fesia,
I love you dear,
don't have me tease you
let's g'way from here.
Can't you see that dog is sincere?
Fesia let's go from here.
