Classic Poem

Th'ow some white san' on dat flo'—
Put some rozzum on dat bow;
Dis heah's Chris'mus time fer sho'—
Swing dem sisters!

Do dat ol' time fiddle proud!
Call de figgers—call 'em loud!
Who dance bes' in all de crowd?
Swing dem sisters!

Han's all roun', en' “Short'in Bread;”
Fling yo' boots an' ben' yo' head;
Dance ontell you shake de shed—
Swing dem sisters!

Winders rattlin', en de wall
Shakin' lak' he gwine ter fall!
Come in one, en come in all—
Swing dem sisters!
