Henry Clay Work - Kingdom Coming lyrics

Say, darkies, hab you seen de ma**a, wid de muffstash on his face Go long de road some time dis mornin', like he gwine to leab de place? He seen a smoke way up de ribber, whar de Linkum gunboats lay; He took his hat, and lef' berry sudden, and I spec' he's run away! CHORUS: De ma**a run, ha, ha! De darkey stay, ho, ho! It mus' be now de kindom coming, an' de year ob Jubilo! He six foot one way, two foot tudder, and he weigh tree hundred pound His coat so big, he couldn't pay the tailor, an' it won't go halfway round He drill so much dey call him Cap'n, an' he got so drefful tanned I spec' he try an' fool dem Yankees for to tink he's contraband CHORUS De darkeys feel so lonesome libbing in de loghouse on de lawn Dey move dar tings into ma**a's parlor for to keep it while he's gone Dar's wine an' cider in de kitchen, an' de darkeys dey'll have some; I s'pose dey'll all be cornfiscated when de Linkum sojers come CHORUS De obserseer he make us trouble, an' he dribe us round a spell; We lock him up in de smokehouse cellar, wid de key trown in de well De whip is lost, de han'cuff broken, but de ma**a'll hab his pay; He's ole enough, big enough, ought to known better dan to went an' run away CHORUS
