Mary Black 1901 'Hoity Toity'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Feb 2005

Talk about your Mary Green
Mary White and Mary Brown
De gal dat make 'em all look mean,
lives right yere in dis town.
Eb'ry black has got ter ben'
and hearts am on de rack
fo' de lady of color
whose cognomen is Mary Black.

Mary Black
when yo' gwine to take me back,
you know, I love you so,
why did yo' gib me de sack?
Mary Green you can chase right off de scene
an' eb'ry other colored gal
clars de track fo' Mary Black.

Mary used to feed me ham
till one sorry day I said,
if Mary had a little lamb
I'd be much better fed.
I got lamm'd good and plenty den,
and out I went kersmack
'sisted by the lady whose
cognomen is Mary Black.

Mary Black
when yo' gwine to take me back,
you know, I love you so,
why did yo' gib me de sack?
Mary Green you can chase right off de scene
an' eb'ry other colored gal
clars de track fo' Mary Black.
