My Ann Elizer 1898 'Summer Nights'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Dec 2004

My girl ain't much to look at,
she ain't no dream,
she can't sing like an angel
Ann Elizer Green.
But when she hears the ragtime
she can't keep still,
her nerves commence a jumpin'
she gets a chill well
her eyes begin a shinin'
her cheeks get red,
her feet commence to shuffle
she shakes her head,
and when she starts a dancin'
she's the real thing,
I can't keep still no longer
I got to sing: well

My Ann Elizer she's a surpriser,
A tantaliser she's in a whirl,
and I'll advertise her my Ann Elizer
she is my rag time girl.

My Ann Elizer she's a surpriser,
A tantaliser she's in a whirl,
and I'll advertise her my Ann Elizer
she is my rag time girl.

I took her to a party
last Sunday night,
where all the coons were dancin'
ended in a fight,
there was a yeller feller
from Thompson Street,
said that he had a baby
no wench could beat well
I bet on Ann Elizer all that I had.
When she got through a dancin'
that coon looked sad,
he tried to grab the money
I carved him deep.
I sang this song to him
as he went to sleep: well

My Ann Elizer she's a surpriser,
A tantaliser she's in a whirl,
and I'll advertise her my Ann Elizer
she is my rag time girl.

My Ann Elizer she's a surpriser,
A tantaliser she's in a whirl,
and I'll advertise her my Ann Elizer
she is my rag time girl.
