The Luckiest Coon In Town 1899

Have you heard about the lucky coon
Came to town one day in June
He roams around thro' the town
with an easy air
he doesn't seem to care
no matter when or where
he dresses well
but don't dress swell
but he seems to have the dough
and if you get close to that coon
you'll hear him mumbling low.

I got a place to eat
I got a place to sleep
I got a plenty good clothes to wear.
I got a hat for my head
and shoes for my feet
so what more need I care.
I got a lovely gal
and an honest pal
and a lot of white friends aroun'
I done bid farewell to ev'ry fear
I'm the luckiest coon in town.

I got a place to eat
I got a place to sleep
I got a plenty good clothes to wear.
I got a hat for my head
and shoes for my feet
so what more need I care.
I got a lovely gal
and an honest pal
and a lot of white friends aroun'
I done bid farewell to ev'ry fear
I'm the luckiest coon in town.

Ev'ry morn he goes out for a walk,
with no coons he's seen to talk,
He says he never wants to be
Mayor or President,
just give him fifty cents
and he will be content.
He never cares 'bout politics
and he ain't no club house man
and if you want to know his game,
he'll have you understand.

I got a place to eat
I got a place to sleep
I got a plenty good clothes to wear.
I got a hat for my head
and shoes for my feet
so what more need I care.
I got a lovely gal
and an honest pal
and a lot of white friends aroun'
I done bid farewell to ev'ry fear
I'm the luckiest coon in town.

I got a place to eat
I got a place to sleep
I got a plenty good clothes to wear.
I got a hat for my head
and shoes for my feet
so what more need I care.
I got a lovely gal
and an honest pal
and a lot of white friends aroun'
I done bid farewell to ev'ry fear
I'm the luckiest coon in town.
