All de coons look at my gal Suzzannah,
but she lubs dis coon, she's ma lady:
For 'twas jes last night I kissed her,
When she said: "I'll marry you sir."
Wish you'd heard her,
dey all say she am a handsome nigger,
an' dat's right, for she am my lady!
All de darkies want her,
but dey jes can't have her,
She's my nut brown lady!

De weddin' cake am ready
for me an' ma black lady,
de darkies am invited,
to see us both united,
Preacher says he's comin'
an' things will be a hummin'
for Miss Suzzanah Brady
am my lady!

All de darkies call her Miss Suzzanah,
wish'd you see the smile of my lady:
Dey all bow when she goes past dar,
an jes look as dough dey lub her,
Yes, dey do, sir,
Den dey tell her I'm a triflin' nigger,
But she don't mind dem,
she's ma lady!
Den dey try to kiss her,
but she tell dem: "No sir!"
She's my nut brown lady!

De weddin' cake am ready
for me an' ma black lady,
de darkies am invited,
to see us both united,
Preacher says he's comin'
an' things will be a hummin'
for Miss Suzzanah Brady
am my lady!
