Ma Tiger Lily 1900

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 19 Nov 2004

I'd frow down any coon for her,
she frowed down piles for me.
No matter where or when
she'll ketch 'em by the pair.
She's wicked as kin be;
but she ain't never caused no sigh,
in dis yere yaller coon.
You hear me all
I'm proud to leave her in a crowd,
and see dem crazy niggers spoon,

For she's my Lily my Tiger Lily
she draws de niggers like a crowd of flies.
a queen in shape and size,
got diamonds in her eyes,
she is ma sweetest one,
ma Baby Tiger Lily.

I met her at a ball one night,
and gave her jest one smile,
she shook her nigger pard
and handed me her card.
I wrote ma name in style,
she wouldn't waltz no one but me,
I took de last quadrille,
and when de ball was free,
de furst thing dat I knew,
she swore my little bride to be

For she's my Lily my Tiger Lily
she draws de niggers like a crowd of flies.
a queen in shape and size,
got diamonds in her eyes,
she is ma sweetest one,
ma Baby Tiger Lily.
