Jasper Don't You Hear Me Calling You 1905

Jasper Williams was a sleepy coon
that never looked well dressed,
His clothes was always wrinkled and
his pants were never, never pressed,
he was just like Rip Van Winkle,
he would sleep both night and day.
Like a lions roaring
you could hear him snoring
for a many miles away
by the side of his folding bed,
his wife each a morning said:

Jasper, Jasper,
don't you hear me calling you?
Jasper,
I've been calling 'till my face am blue,
The house is cold
get up and fetch the kindling wood
or I'll forget my love for you
and soak you good!
Jasper
don't you hear me calling you?

Jasper, Jasper,
don't you hear me calling you?
Jasper,
I've been calling 'till my face am blue,
The house is cold
get up and fetch the kindling wood
or I'll forget my love for you
and soak you good!
Jasper
don't you hear me calling you?

Jasper Williams this sleepy coon
had a dream one winter's night,
he dreamt he was a millionaire
and owned everything in sight,
The flat iron building
subway too,
he bought while in his sleep.
A very funny feeling
over him came stealing
someone was tickling his feet
and again by the same old bed,
His poor wife then once more said:

Jasper, Jasper,
don't you hear me calling you?
Jasper,
I've been calling 'till my face am blue,
The house is cold
get up and fetch the kindling wood
or I'll forget my love for you
and soak you good!
Jasper
don't you hear me calling you?

Jasper, Jasper,
don't you hear me calling you?
Jasper,
I've been calling 'till my face am blue,
The house is cold
get up and fetch the kindling wood
or I'll forget my love for you
and soak you good!
Jasper
don't you hear me calling you?
