BONAPART ON l'EE ISLE OF ST. HElENA
he is ~ne from the wars of all fighting,
He has g~ne to the place r.e never took delight in;
Oh these re may sit down, and tell the scenes he's seen oh!
While forlorn he doth mourn on the Isle of St. Helena..
Louisa does mourn f r her husband departed,
She dreams wl:en she sleeps, and she wa.kes broken hearted;
Not a. friend t~ cons~le her, even those that nigh be with her,
But she mourns when she thinks of the isle of St. Helena.
Come all ye that have got wealth, pray beware of ambition,
For it is a n.ecree in fate that might cha.nge your condition;
Be ye steadfast in time, for what is to come ye know not;
For fear you might bechanged, like he on the isle of St. Helena.
The rude rushing waves, all ar~und th shore are washing,
And the great billows heave, and the wild rocks are dashing;
He may look to the m~on of the great Mount Diana;
With his eyes over the waves t:tat are around St. Helena.•
No more in the clouds, he will be seen in such splendour,
Or go on with his crowds with the great Alexander;
For the young king of Rome, and the Prince of Gana.k,
Says he will bring his fa.ther home from the isle of St. Helena.
The Parliaments of England, and your Holy Alliance;
T~ a prisoner of wa.r you may now bid defiance;
For your base intrigues, and your baser misdeameanors,
Ha.ve caused him to die on the Isle of St. Helena.

Bonapart On The Isle of St. Helena
Bony he is gone from the wars of all fighting,
He has gone to the place he never took delight in.

And the great billows heave, and the wild rocks are dashing.
He may look to the moon of the great Mount Diana.
With his eyes over the waves that are around St. Helena.
No more in the clouds, he will be seen in such splendour,
Or go on with his crowds with the great Alexander,
For the young king of Rome, and the Prince of Ganak,

Oh dont you see that lonsome dove.
That flys from pine to pine.
Its morning for its own true love.
And why not mourn for mine my true love?
And why not mourn for mine?
Do you remember the day that you gave me your heart?
And vowed to me that if ever you marrid I should be your girl.
But now you have broken all those vows just marry who you please,
While this pore aching heart most dead.
You are living at your ease my love.
You are living at your ease.
You slighted me once you slighted me twice.
You will never slight me any more.
Though you slighted me for another girl.
and now you may take her and go my love.
Oh darling darling do hush up.

For the best of friends they have to part.
And so do you and I my love and so do you and I.

Hang down your head and cry.

Ill will fly in the arms of the one I lovebest.

Collected by John Bennett: 37 Legare St., Charleston, So.Ca. 1893-1922:
In The Pines
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
I shiver when the cold wind blows.
I am going away for a year and a day
On the longerest road that I knows.
Oh, don’t you see yon lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine?
If a dove can mourn for her true love
Why can’t I mourn for mine?
Refrain: In the pines, etc.
Oh, don’t you see yonder crow flying high,
With quills as black as night?
I will never be false to you
Until that crow turns white.
He taken the Bible into his hands
And swore by black and white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day shall turn to night,
Oh, my lover, tell me true,
Where did you stay last night?
The wind blew cold on old Bald Mountain,
And the stars were a-shining bright.
I would that your dear breast were made out of glass
That I might read you through.
Then I moughten’t fear a lying tongue
But know that your heart were true.
Come in, come in, my old true love,
Come set you down by me.
It has been more than a year and a day
Since I spoken a word with thee.
I can’t come in, and I can’t sit down,
For I hain’t got a moment of time.
Since you are engaged with another true love
Your heart no longer is mine.
You know what you told me, love,
And you know what you said.
You know what you promised me,
And you know what you did.
I’ll never believe what another man says
Let his eyes be blue or brown,
Unless he be up on the gallows-tree
Saying ‘Love, I’d much rather come down!’
Oh, when your heart were mine, true love,
And my head lay on your breast,
You could make me believe by the falling of your arm
That the sun rose up in the west.
There’s many a bright star shall jingle in the west,
And many a leaf shall fall below,
And there’s many a damn shall fall upon a man
For serving a poor girl so!
There’s many a girl goes gay about
To hear the small birds sing,
Who, before she’s done shall set alone
And cry for a wedding-ring .
I cried, last night, when I comed home,
I cried the night before.
I’ll cry, to-night, till my eyes pump sand,
And then I’ll cry no more!
Close with the refrain.

I'M DREAMING OF THE DAYS OF LONG AGO
I 1 m dreaming of the days of long ago,
As the sunshine and the shadows come and go.
I see the orchard and the hill and the little
brook and mill.
As I'm dreaming of the da~s of long ago.
I ' m dreaming of the woodland and the plainly
beaten path
Of the hoot owl and the caw caw of the crow.
I can see the grapevine swing and the bird
upon her i'ling,
As I ' m dreaming of the days of long ago.
I can hear the whippoorwill in the dusky
twilight still,
And the misic of tre fiddle and the bovl,
I turn with the corn mill crank and I hit
old Morgan's flank
As I'm dreaming of the days of long ago.
I can see the timbertwig as it fairly dances
a jig and the sun kissed apples
Fell down at my feet.
\'/here the sassafras it growed and the good
old cows they lowed.
I can hear the bob white and the pheasants beat,
I see that old log house and farm and the spinning
of the yarn,
By a hand that vanished like the winter snow.
And her look so tenderly as she often told to me
How I'd ponder on the days of long ago.
Just one more among my dreams
Dearer than them all it seems,
As the sunshine and the shadow come and go
As we stood at that old gate and
He whispered will you wait,
Will you love me when you
Dream of long ago.

I'm Dreaming of the Days of Long Ago
I'm dreaming of the days of long ago,
As the sunshine and the shadows come and go.
I see the orchard and the hill and the little
brook and mill.
As I'm dreaming of the days of long ago.
I'm dreaming of the woodland and the plainly
beaten path
Of the hoot owl and the caw caw of the crow.
I can see the grapevine swing and the bird
upon her wing,
As I'm dreaming of the days of long ago.
I can hear the whippoorwill in the dusky
twilight still,
And the music of the fiddle and the bow,
I turn with the corn mill crank and I hit
old Morgan's flank
As I'm dreaming of the days of long ago.
I can see the timbertwig as it fairly dances
a jig and the sun kidsed apples
Fell down at my feet.
Where the sassafras it growed and the good
old cows they lowed.
I can hear the bob white and the pheasants beat,
I see that old log house and farm and the spinning
of the yarn,
By a hand that vanished like the winter snow.
And her look so tenderly as she often told to me
How I'd ponder on the days of long ago.
Just one more among my dreams
Dearer than them all it seems,
As the sunshine and the shadow come and go
As we stood at that old gate and
He whispered will you wait,
Will you love me when you
Dream of long ago.

THE ILL WIFE
As soon as I got married a happy men to be,
My wife turned out a sorrow jade, we never could agree;
For what I thought my greatest bliss was grief beyond compare,
And all the cause of my complaint, she is my forever more.
Chorue -
For she's a plague plaguing and she's a plaguing me,
She's a plague plaguing and never let's me be.
About a week or something less, a bonny thing she was,
But err the second Sunday came, she made me cry alas.'
Oh! often times I cry alas! 'tis needless here to tell,
The wright of it lies all on this, the jade she knows herself.
My house I dare n-:>t call my own, nor anything that is in it,
And if I
ch~nce
to speak a word, she flies like fire from flint;
My very hair I dare not cut, my clothes I dare not wear,
And all, both clothes and money too, she keeps me naked bare.
Right well she knows I dearly love a dainty dish of meat,
She cooks it up so dirtily, the devil abit I eat;
And if I turn my mouth awry, or chance to shake my head,
She calls me :'ilthy boor, and says I am very ill to feed.
When I a.m for merriment, oh! then she's very sad,
And when I am for soberness, she goes destra.cted mad.
When I wish to hear her speak, she silent sits and dumb,
And when I am for quietness, she rattles like a. drum.
Yesterday my neighbor Tom and I went our throats to wet,
She thundered in my ears so lour1 I think I hear her yet;
And when her barleyhood is on, wh~ck often is the case,
The first thing that comes to her hands she dashes in my face.
That marriage is a :paradise I have often heard folks tell,
But for my own :part - first and last - I think its worse than hellAnd yet there is a comfort left - acomfort and no more,
The pangs of death willbreak the bonds and bury all my care. -

My wife turned out a sorrow jade, we never could agree,
For what I thought my greatest bliss was grief beyond compare,
And all the cause of my complain, she is my forever more.
Chorus-
For she’s a plague plaguing and she’s a plaguing me,
She’s a plague plaguing and never let’s me be.
About a week or something less, a bonny thing she was,
But err the second Sunday came, she made me cry alas!
Oh! often times I cry alas! ‘tis needless here to tell,
The wright of it lies all on this, the jade she knows herself.

Right well she knows I dearly love a dainty dish of meat,
She cooks it up so dirtily, the devil abit I eat,
And if I turn my mouth awry, or chance to shake my head,
She calls me filthy boor, and says I am very ill to feed.
When I am for merriment, oh! then she’s very sad,
And when I am for soberness, she goes distracted mad.
When I wish to hear her speak, she silent sits and dumb,
And when I am for quietness, she rattles like a drum.
Yesterday my neighbor Tom and I went our throats to wet,
She thundered in my ears so loud I think I hear her yet,
And when her barleyhood is on, whicH often is the case,

I ' LL HANG MY HARP ON A
~·JILLO~v
TREE
I'll hang my harp on a willow tree,
I ' m off to the wars again,
My peaceful home has no charms for me,
The battle field no pain;
The lady I love will soon be a bride,
'Vi th a diadem on her brow,
Oh! Why did she flatter my boyish pride,
She's going to leave me now.
She took me away from my warlike lord,
And gave me a silken suit.
I thought no more of my master's sword
When I played on my master's lute;
She seem'd to think me a boy above
Her Pages of low degree
Oh! Had I but lov'd with a boyish love
It would have been better for me.
Then I'll hide in my breast every selfish care,
I'll flush my pale cheek with wine,
vfuen smiles await the bridal pair
I'll hasten to give them mine.
I'll laugh and I'll sing tho' my heart may bleed,
And I'll walk in the festive train.
And if I survive it I'll mount my steed,
And I'll off to the wars again.
But the golden tress of her hair I ' ll twine,
In my helmet's sable plume,
And then on the field of Palestine,
I'll seek an early doom;
And if by the Saracen's hand I fall,
Mid the noble and thebrave,
A tear from my ladylove is all
I ask for the warrior's grave.

Tragic Love Song.
I'll Be All Smiles Tonight, Love.
I'll deck my brow with roses.
The loved one may be there
The gems that others gave me will shine within my hair And even those that know me will think my heart is light though my heart should break to morrow,
I'll be all smiles tonight.
I'll be all smiles to night love, I'll be all smiles to
night. Though my heart may break to morrow I'll be all smiles tonight.
I'll Be All Smiles Tonight
I’ll Be All Smiles Tonight

I’ll be All Smiles Tonight, Love .
I’ll deck my brow with roses,
The loved one may be there.
The gems that others gave me
Will shine within my hair.
And even those that know me
Will think my heart is light.
Though my heart will break to morrow
I’ll be all smiles to night.
Chorus.
I’ll be all smiles tonight, love
I’ll be all smiles to-night.
Though my heart may break to-morrow
I’ll be all smiles to-night.
And when the room he entered ,
The bride upon his arm,
I stood and gazed upon him
As if he were a charm.
So once he smiled upon her,
So once he smiled on me.
They know not what I suffered,
They found no change in me.
And when the dance is ended,
Oh how I will rejoice.
I’ll sing the songs he taught me
Without one faltering voice.
When flatterers come around me,
They will think my heart is light.
Though my heart will break to morrow,
I’ll be all smiles to night.
And when the dance is ended,
And all have gone to rest,
I’ll think of him,dear Mother,
The one that I love best.
He once did love,believe me,
But now’s grown cold and strange.
He sought not to deceive me,
False friends have wrought this change .

SINGLE GAL
When I was single, I went dressed all so fine.
Now I am married, I go ragged all the time.
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
When I was single my new shoes would squeak.
Now I am married, and oh, my shoes do leak.
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
Two little children a cryin' for bread.
Nothing to give them, an' I almost wish I's dead
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
One a cryin' 11 fvlammy, I want a piece of bread,"
The other cryin' "Mammy, I want to go to bed."
Oh, I W3h I was a single gal again.
Wash their little feet and send them to bed.
'Long comes their Daddy and asks if they've been fed
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
Wash their little hands and send them to school.
'Long comes that drunkard and calls me a fool.
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
Dishes to wash and the spring to go to.
When you are married you have it all to do.
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
Chickens to feed, the cows are to milk,
The blamed little children are all cryin' yet.
Oh, I wish I was a single gal again.
It's hard to be married, an' not have enough of bread.
But I'd rather marry the devil than never to be wed.
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.

I AM THE BOY FOR BEWrrCHmG
THEM
I was the boy for bewitching them,
good-humored or coy;
All cried when I was beseeching them,
Do what you will with me joy.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Whethe~
Daughters be cautious and steady,
Mammies would cry out for fear;
Would not you take care now of Teddy,
Oh! he is the devil, my dear.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
From every quarter I gathered them,
Very few rivals had I··
If I found any I lathered them,
That ~de them plaguily shy.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Pat Mooney my Shelah once meeting,
It wigged him beginning his clack;
Says he, at my heart I have a beating,
Says I, then take one at your back.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Many a lass that would fly away,
When other vooer, but spoke;
Once if I looked her a die away,
There was an end of the joke.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Beauties, no matter how cruel,
Hundreds of lads though they crossed,
When I came nigh to them jewel,
Me 1ted like mud in a frost
For I was the boy for bewitching them.

I Am The Boy For Bewitching Them
I was the boy for bewitching them,
Whether good-humored or coy.
All cried when I was beseeching them,
Do what you will with me joy.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Daughters be cautious and steady,
Mammies would cry out for fear.
Would not you take care now of Teddy,
Oh! he is the devil, my dear.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
From every quarter I gathered them,
Very few rivals had I.
If I found any I lathered them,
That made them plaguily shy.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Pat Mooney my Shelah once meeting,
It wigged him beginning his clack,
Says he, at my heart I have a beating,
Says I, then take one at your back.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Many a lass that would fly away,
When other wooer, but spoke,
Once if I looked her a die away,
There was an end of the joke.
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
Beauties, no matter how cruel,
Hundreds of lads though they crossed,
When I came nigh to them jewel,
Melted like mud in a frost
For I was the boy for bewitching them.
I was the Boy for Bewitching 'Em

Could steal before the steps of time,
And wash its bloom away.
Yet still thy features wore that light.

And life never looked more farely bright,
Than in thy smiles of death.
As streams that run over golden mines,
With modest mur mur glide.

Verse 1`
F. is for the fireside Smokes together
A. is all that he has given me
T. is for all the times we have had together
H. is for his heartstrings made of gold
E. is for the Eyes now growing dimmer
R. is right and Square He's been with me
Put it all to gather it spells “father”
the best friend and xallx pal a man can be
I Once had a heart
and it was true
It has left me & gone to you
now you must take care of it as I have done
for you have too & I have none
So tell me darling if you love me
it would cure my aking heart
for from sorrow it is breaking
to think we too so far apart.

I,HAVE NO MOTHER NOW
I hear the low winds sweeting
Through every bush and tree,
Where my dear mother's sleeping
Away from home and me.
Chorus:
Tears from my eyes are flowing
And sorrow shades my brow,
Cold in the grove she's sleeping,
I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining
On mother's white tomb stone,
The rose bush round it twining,
It's just like me alone.
It's just like me a-weeping,
Cold dewdrops damp my brown,
It's just like me a-weeping,
I have no mother now.
My life is so lonely,
My heart is troubled sore,
Her dearest presence, only,
Could make me weep no more.
She has gone from me to heaven,
Deep sorrow shades my brow,
The sacred tie is broken,
I have no mother now.
Sad was the hour of parting,
She said in words so sweet,
My loved one I'm dying
We must in heaven meet.
0 yes, I'll meet you Mother,
On that eternal shore
And there we'll live together,
Where parting is no more.
Come now, ye orphan children,
Who sorrow here below,
And join me in a promise,
That you'll to glory go.
Then when our labor's ended
And time shall be no more,
We'll go and live with mother,
Where parting is no more.

I Have No Mother Now
I hear the low winds sweeting
Through every brush and tree,
Where my dear mother's sleeping
Away from home and me.
Chorus.
Tears from my eyes are flowing,
And sorrow shades my brow,
Cold in the grove she's sleeping
I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining
On mother's white tomb stone,
The rose bush round it twining,
It's just like me alone.
Chorus
It's just like me a-weeping
Cold dew-drops damp my brow,
Its' just like me a-weeping,
I have no mother now.
My life is so lonely,
My heart is troubled sore,
Her dearest presence, only,
Could make me weep no more.
Chorus
She has gone from me to heaven,
Deep sorrow shades my brow,
The sacred tie is broken,
I have no mother now.
Sad was the hour of parting
She said in words so sweet,
My loved one I'm dying
We must in heaven meet.
Chorus.
O yes, I'll meet you Mother,
On that eternal shore
And there we'll live together,
Where parting is no more.
Come now, ye orphan children,
Who sorrow here below,
And join me in a promise,
That you'll to glory go.
Chorus
Then when our labor's ended
And time shall be no more,
We'll go and live with mother
Where parting is no more.
I Have an Aged Mother
I Have No Mother Now

I am a Peaceful Woman
I am a peaceful woman
And I never will complain,
But since I wed I’m almost dead
My husband is insane.
He keeps me jumping through a hoop,
He’s gone from bad to worse.
He does’nt seem to wanrt a wife,
What he needs is a nurse.
When I try to have my way,
He’ll yell at me and say,
“You’re goint to loose your husband if you do.
Go right ahead and I wont worry,
Have a hot time in a hurry.
‘Ere you start on your way,
I have just this word to say
You’re going to loose your husband, your husband, your husband.
You’re going to loose your husband if you do.
I could’nt wear a hobble skirt when they were all the go.
How I suffered on windy days no one shall ever know.
And now I want a harem skirt, he can’t see them at all
He says, “United we will stand,divided we will fall.”
Said he, “You’ll take a chance if you wear those harempants.
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.
Though you may think my ways uncouth,I won’t stand for the naked truth
And while your charms it may enhance to wear those nifty harem pants,
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.
I want to sing Grand Opera, I have a lively voice!
The way I sing”Ill’ trovatore “ would make your heart rejoice.
To have a job like Melba’s has always been my wish
But every time I try to sing I have to dodge a dish.
I felt down hearted when he cried,”Don’t sing again,
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.
“I have a lovely voice,” I cried.
He answered,”Tie that dog outside,I have a new song to rehearse.
He says,”Don’t start the second verse,
For you’re goint to lose your husband if you do.”

Oh, Yes, I am a Southern girl,
And glory in the name,
I boast of it with greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame.
I envy not the Northern girl
Her robes of beauty rare.
Tho’ diamonds deck her snowy neck
And pearls bedeck her hair.
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the sunny South, so dear!
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear.
Now Northern goods are out of date,
And since Old Abe’s blockade,
We Southern girls can be content
With goods that’s Southern made.
We send our sweethearts to the war,
But,girls,ne’er you mind---
Your soldier love will not forget the girl he left behind.
The Southern land’s a glorious land,
And has a glorious cause,
Then cheer three cheers for Southern rights,
And for the Southern boys!
We scorn to wear a bit of silk,
A bit of Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up,
And wear them with a grace.
And now young men, a word tonyou,
If you would win the fair,
Go to the fields where honor calls
And win your lady there.
Remember that your brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave
And that our tears are all for those that fill the soldier’s grave.

THE DYING PREACHER
My brother preacher boldly speaks
And stands on Zion•s walls,
T 1 revive the strong, confirm the weak
And after sinners call.
My brothers, fare you well,
Your fellowship I love.
In time no more I shall see you,
But soon we 1 11 meet above.
My little children near my heart
And nature seems to bind.
It grieves me sorely to depart,
And leave you all behind.
0 Lord, a Father to them be,
ANd keep them from all harm.
That they may love and worship Thee
ANd dwell upon Thy charms.
My loving wife, my bosom f.riend,
The object of my love,
The time•s been sweet I 1 ve spent with you
My sweet and harmless dove.
My loving wife, don•t grieve for me,
Neither lament nor mourn.
For I shall with my Savior be,
\~en you are left alone.
How
And
But
And
often
often
now I
never
you have looked for me,
seen me come;
must depart from thee
more return.
For I can never come to Thee;
Let not this grieve your heart.
For you will shortly come to me
\·/here we shall never pa:bt.

HE IS QUITE THE THING
When Charley did hie love confess,
In words so swee t he did complain;
Pray ladies how could I do less,
Than love this charming youth again?
For he can dance with graceful ease,
Can t ouch with magic skill the string;
Formed every female heart to please,
The girls all say he is ('uite the thing.
His teeth are white as mount ain snow,
His sparkling eyes as jet are black;
In short, the truth to let you know,
'Jfuere is no charm which he doth lack.
The merry dance he will join with ease,
Or touch witt ~i-ta magic skill the string,
Formed every female heart to please-I am sure you will say he is quite the thing.
With him I went t o sweet Vaunhall,
And crowds of well-dressed beaux were there;
But none I saw amongs t them all,
With my dear Charley could compare.
The lad_
ies do not blame me, pray-For when he bought a wedding ring
I blushed, but could not answer nay-Because you know he is quite the thing .

YOUNG DAYS SHAIED
Has sorrow thy young days shaded
As clouds over the morning fleet.
Too fast have those young days faded,
That even in sorrow were sweet.
Does time with his cold wing wither
Each fee ling that one was dear.
Come child of misfortune hither,
I will weep with thee tear for tear.
Has love to that soul so tender,
Been like our Lagenion mine,
When sparkles of golden splendor,
All over the surface shine.
1
But if in pursuit we go deeper,
Allured. by the gleam that shone.
Ah, false as the dream of the sleeper,
Like love the alright one is gone.
Has hope like the bird .in the story,
That fluttered from tree to tree,
With the talesman's glittering glory,
Has hope been that bird to thee.
On branch after branch a lightening,
The gem did she still display,
And when nearest and most inviting,
Then woft the fair gem away.
If thus the sweet hours have fleeted,
When sorrow herself looked bright,
If thus the fond hope has cheated
That led thee along so light.
If thus the unkind world wither,
Each feeling that one was dear.
Come child of misfortune come hither,
I will weep with the tea.r for tear.
"This is written by a true friend,
Remember me forever, "

I will weep with thee tear for tear.
Has love to that soul so tender,
Been like our Lagenion mine,
When sparkles of golden splendor,
All over the surface shine.
But if in pursuit we go deeper,
Allured by the gleam that shone.
Ah, false as the dream of the sleeper,
Like love the alright one is gone.
Has hope like the bird in the story,
That fluttered from tree to tree,
With the talesman’s glittering glory,
Has hope been that bird to thee.
On branch after branch a lightening,
The gem did she still display,
And when nearest and most inviting,
Then woft the fair gem away.
If thus the sweet hours have fleeted,
When sorrow herself looked bright,
If thus the fond hope has cheated
That led thee along so light.
If thus the unkind world wither,
Each feeling that one was dear.
Come chilled of misfortune come hither,
I will weep with the tear for tear.
"This is written by a true friend,
Remember me forever,"

The Handwriting on the Wall (Sanky)
At the feast of Belshazzar & a thousand of His Lords
While they drank from golden vessels, as the book of truth records
In the night as they reveled, in the royal palace hall
They seized with consternation – I was the hand upon the wall
Tis the hand of God on the wall (writing on the wall)
Tis the hand of '' '' '' '' ( '' '' '' '' )
Shall the record be found wanting
Or shall it be found trusting
While the hand is writing on the wall
See the brave captive Daniel, as he stood before the throng
And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong
As he read out the writing – twas the doom of one & all
For the kingdom now was finished – said the hand upon the wall
See the faith, zeal & courage that would dare to do the right
Which the spirit gave to Daniel – ‘twas the secret of his might
In his home in Judea, or a captive in the hall
He understood the writing of his God upon the wall.
So our deeds are recorded – There’s a hand that’s writing now
Sinner give your heart to Jesus – to His royal mandates bow,
For the day is approaching – it must come to one & all
When the sinner consternation will be written on the wall.

1
“See the women and children going to the train,
Fare-you-well, my husband, if I never see you again,
The engineer turned his head
When he saw so many were dead,
So many have lost their lives.
Chorus
Isn’t Ains it sad, isn’t ains it sad?
Ex/cur/si/on left Durham, going to Charlotte, North Carolina,
Isn’t it sad, isn’t it said?
So many have lost their lives.

Some of us have mothers a standing at the train,
Say Fare-well-well, my daughter, I may never see you again,
And the train began to fly
And some didn’t come back alive,
So many have lost their lives.
[illegible] The fireman said to the engineer,
“We are something late,
We don’t want to meet up with the local freight,”
The local was on the line
And theye could not get there on time ,
So many have lost their lives.
3 omit these 2 stanzas
When the news got to Durham, some said it was a lie,
But there was some in the hospital almost ready to die,
And their poor old mothers, you know,
They were running from door to door,
So many have lost their lives.
Now colored people I will tell you and tell you to your face,
The train that left Durham, was loaded with our race,
And some did not think of dying
When they rode on down the line,
So many have lost their lives.
4
They put the dead in their coffins and sent them back to town,
And then they were taken to the burying ground,
You could hear the coffin sound
When they let those bodies down,
So many have lost their lives.”
“(by Franklin Williams and William Firkins)”
Note:This is the form of the song as it appears in a broadside published
by the Reform Publishing Company, an African-American printer in Durham.
The song was likely not composed by Williams and Firkins,
who ran operations in the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co’s factory in
Durham.

Hail America
Hail! America, hail! unriviled in fame,
Thy foes in confusion turn pale at thy name.
On thy rock-rooted virtue firmly seated sublime,
Below the thee break harmless the billows of time.
The striped flag shall wave still, and glory insure,
And freedom find ever a guardian in you.
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! for brave America, where freedom seems secures,
For a high car of crest, blazoned glory are yours.
Let Spain boast the treasures that grow in her mines,
Let Gallia rejoice in her olives and vines.
In bright-sparkling jewels let India prevail,
With her odors, Arabia perfume every gale
It is America alone that can boast of the soil,
Where the fair fruits of virtue and liberty smile.
Hurrah for Brave America, where freedom secures,
For the blessings of virtues and plenty are yours.
Our bosoms in rapture beat high at thy name,
Thy health is our transport-our triumph, they fame.

That America may flourish till time be no more.
Hurrah! for brave America, where freedom secures,
