You Needn't Come Around Knocking Me 1901

A coon he loved his yeller girl
on her his dough he spent,
for cigarettes and ice cream
till he didn't have a cent,
So when she found he had no dough
she said I'll throw him down,
I'll get another moke who
will take me 'round the town.
At last she got another coon
a diamond he did sport,
she pulled his leg so long
until it almost got too short,
the other big black coon got next
and started out one day,
when he met them down the pike
then in anger did she say,

You needn't come around a knocking me,
I have another coon a you can see,
If you had the dough, well I don't know
You needn't come round a knocking me.

You needn't come around a knocking me,
I have another girl a you can see,
If you weren't gay you'd be mine today
You needn't come around a knocking me.

Now this poor coon his father died
a most unnatural death,
and all his dough and property
to his wayward son he left,
So when the yeller girl heard that
she tried to get him back,
but all her pleading was no use
at her he only laughed,
she said she loved him dearly
and called him her own sweetheart,
and said if you'll come back,
from your dear side I'll never part,
But in her big black car he said
Oh that can never be,
I'm too good you see,
you needn't come around knocking me,

You needn't come around a knocking me,
I have another coon a you can see,
If you had the dough, well I don't know
You needn't come round a knocking me.

You needn't come around a knocking me,
I have another girl a you can see,
If you weren't gay you'd be mine today
You needn't come around a knocking me.
