Kingdom Coming
Henry Clay Work
say, darky, hab you sen de massa,wid de muffstash on his face,
Come along de road some tim dis mornin,lik he want to leab de place?
He sen a smoke way up de ribber, whar de Linkum gunboats lay
He takes his hat,and lef' berry sudden, and I spc' he's run away!
De massa run, ha ha!
De darkeys stay, ho ho!
it mus' be now de kingdom comeing
an' de year ob  Jubilo!
He six foot one way, tow foot the oder, and he weigh tre hundred pound
His coat so big, he couldn't pay the tailor, an' it don't go halfway round
He drill so much dey call him Cap'n, an' he get so drefful tanned
I'll spac' he'll try to fool dem Yankees for to tink he's contraband
De massa run, ha ha!
De darkeys stay, ho ho!
it mus' be now de kingdom comeing
an' de year ob  Jubilo!
Wi' de darkeys fell so lonesome libbing in de loghouse on de lawn
Dey mov dar tings into massa's parlor for to keep it while he's gone
Dar's wine an' cider in de kitchen, an' de darkeys day'll have some
But it'll make dey'll all be confiscated when de Linkum sojers come!
De massa run, ha ha!
De darkeys stay, ho ho!
it mus' be now de kingdom comeing
an' de year ob  Jubilo!
Wi' sw obserseer he make us trouble, an' he dribe us round a spell
we lock him in fe smokehouse cellar, wid de keep him down in de well
De whip is lost, de han'cuff broken, but de massa'll hab his pay
He's ole enough, big enoug, shound know better dan to go an' run away
De massa run, ha ha!
De darkeys stay, ho ho!
it mus' be now de kingdom comeing
an' de year ob  Jubilo!
De massa run, ha ha!
De darkeys stay, ho ho!
it mus' be now de kingdom comeing
an' de year ob  Jubilo!
