AXIN’, COON? CUM OBEAH.

Meadows lak er feddah bed,

Sproutin’ cloveah white an’ red,

Sof’ ez pillahs to de tread,

Axin’, coon? Cum obeah!

Milluns loafin’ in de grass,

Flirtin’ when er coon cum pass,

When er look he dat way cas’,

Axin’, coon? Cum obeah!

Cabbage loafin’ ’roun’ de stump,

Lookin’ sassy fat an’ plump,

Swellin’ up all in er bump,

Axin’, coon? Cum obeah!

Coon er wockin’ at de co’n,

Doh dat’s all fo’ what he’s born,

Wockin, night and’ wockin’ morn,

Hain’t got time cum obeah!
