Hannah 1906  'Dream City. The Magic Knight'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Jan 2004

The moon am shinin' on the bayou tonight;
come out mah lady;
stickin' in de cabin ain't treatin' me right;
don' keep so shady.
All de little stars am a laughin' at me,
an' I just heard a whip'rwill up in a tree,
say: "Whar's dat Hannah an'
why don' she,
come to her lovin' baby?"

Hannah get your bandana,
yo' mus' be crazy coon,
to miss de moon, dat's out tonight.
Hannah please change your manner,
don't keep me waitin' here
mah heart's delight.

A song of 'fection to de sof' ev'nin' breeze,
ole owl am whooin,'
turtle doves am perchin' in de magnolia trees,
billin' an' cooin'.
Eb'ryone in sight has someone to meet,
an' somethin' to whisper dat's low an' sweet,
except dis nigger who's walk'n his beat,
lonesome and nothin' doin'.

Hannah get your bandana,
yo' mus' be crazy coon,
to miss de moon, dat's out tonight.
Hannah please change your manner,
don't keep me waitin' here
mah heart's delight.
