Classic Poem

As I was lumb'ring down de street,
Down de street, down de street,
A pretty gal I chanc'd to meet,
O she was fair to view.

Chorus
Den lubly Fan will you cum out tonight,
Will you cum out tonight, will you cum out to night,
Den lubly Fan will you cum out tonight,
An' dance by de lite ob de moon.

2

I stopt her an' I had some talk
Had some talk, had some talk,
But her foot covered up de whole side-walk
An' left no room for me.
CHORUS : Den lubly Fan, etc.

3

She's de prettiest gal Ibe seen in my life,
Seen in my life, seen in my life,
An' I wish to de Lord she was my wife,
Den we would part no more.
CHORUS : Den lubly Fan, etc.

4

Oh make haste, Fan, don't make me wait,
Make me wait, make me wait,
I fear you've kept me now too late,
Yes, dere's de ebening gun.
CHORUS : Den lubly Fan, etc.
