Ev'rybody sings about their coon gals sweet,
I's got one I wants yous all to know;
She am not the kind of gal
that you would meet,
when you go to see a colored show,
since I met ma lady love
I don't shoot craps,
In a poker game I never play,
and some summer evening
when the moon am shining bright,
To ma sweet potato I will say:

Sweetheart, that is what you am to me,
my black gal,
for I loves you, don't you see?
And dar's no coon dat stands a chance wid me,
my Alabama Lady Love.

Sweetheart, that is what you am to me,
my black gal,
for I loves you, don't you see?
And dar's no coon dat stands a chance wid me,
my Alabama Lady Love.

Ever since I laid my eyes on you, oh babe,
I's made up my mind to win you out;
And before the world my love for you, oh babe,
I won't hesitate with joy to shout;
give me just a darkey's chance to prove my love,
Let me work and bring you all my pay.
And I'll promise for to be as true
as stars above,
if you'll only listen while I say:

Sweetheart, that is what you am to me,
my black gal,
for I loves you, don't you see?
And dar's no coon dat stands a chance wid me,
my Alabama Lady Love.

Sweetheart, that is what you am to me,
my black gal,
for I loves you, don't you see?
And dar's no coon dat stands a chance wid me,
my Alabama Lady Love.
