Go Home 1903

A high toned coon
they called Bill Smith
once courted Hannah Jones,
and Sunday night a week ago
he called to tell his love
he took her hand and said:
"You are the apple of my soul,
Oh won't you be my honey gal,
my chocolate colored dove,
I've given up Miss Bertha Brown
because she's black and tan
and since I've met you, Hannah dear,
I am a diff'rent man,
I am, but Hannah quickly turned away
and shook her kinky head,
and pointing to the kitchen door
these words to him she said:

Go home! Get out of here
and don't come back,
or I'll put all the coppers on your track
you're a wicked coon
I see it in your eye
if you're false to her
you'll be false to me
you're a good for nothing
and we can't agree
so Mister coon,
go fly away, goodbye.

Go home! Get out of here
and don't come back,
or I'll put all the coppers on your track
you're a wicked coon
I see it in your eye
if you're false to her
you'll be false to me
you're a good for nothing
and we can't agree
so Mister coon,
go fly away, goodbye.

Bill Smith was very sad and said:
"Oh please don't make me go
I'll tell you honey
what I'll do
if you'll give me a show,
I'll scrub the floor
and build the fire
and find the chicken neat,
and pluck the fowl
and eat the bones,
and give you all the breast,
the water melon rine I'll eat
and save the meat for you
and when your teeth am all worn out
your pork chops I will chew for you
but Hannah Jones she turned away
and sadly shook her head,
and pointing to the kitchen door,
with flashing eyes she said:

Go home! Get out of here
and don't come back,
or I'll put all the coppers on your track
you're a wicked coon
I see it in your eye
if you're false to her
you'll be false to me
you're a good for nothing
and we can't agree
so Mister coon,
go fly away, goodbye.

Go home! Get out of here
and don't come back,
or I'll put all the coppers on your track
you're a wicked coon
I see it in your eye
if you're false to her
you'll be false to me
you're a good for nothing
and we can't agree
so Mister coon,
go fly away, goodbye.
