Hear The Pickaninny Band 1911

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 Jul 2004

Oh ma Jemmie Lou,
Hurry, honey, do,
hear the Pickaninny Band,
Oh ma honey Lou,
Come and listen to
Sweetest Music in the Land,
Oh ma honey Lou,
Oh, ma Lady Lou,
Old Kentucky troups in town today,
Mooch around a bit,
with me it makes a hit,
hear them Pickaninnies play.

Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
Come and hear the ragtime grand
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
that's the only music that I understand.
It carries me back to old Virginia
and my home in that sunny Southern land,
Can't you hear those drums,
with their tumtetumtumtums
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
come and hear the Pickaninny Band.

Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
Come and hear the ragtime grand
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
that's the only music that I understand.
It carries me back to old Virginia
and my home in that sunny Southern land,
Can't you hear those drums,
with their tumtetumtumtums
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
come and hear the Pickaninny Band.

Better hurry Lou,
What's a keepin' you,
come and see the big parade,
I'm a tellin' you,
They can go a few
Hear that Schubert serenade,
tell you what to do,
I'll get seats for two,
Old Kentucky's show we'll see tonight,
Hear that minor strain,
ain't it a sweet refrain,
Gee! I think it's outer sight.

Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
Come and hear the ragtime grand
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
that's the only music that I understand.
It carries me back to old Virginia
and my home in that sunny Southern land,
Can't you hear those drums,
with their tumtetumtumtums
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
come and hear the Pickaninny Band.

Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
Come and hear the ragtime grand
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
that's the only music that I understand.
It carries me back to old Virginia
and my home in that sunny Southern land,
Can't you hear those drums,
with their tumtetumtumtums
Oh hurry hon', Oh hurry hon',
come and hear the Pickaninny Band.
