Say Darkies Have You See Ulysses

Air: Kingdom Coming

Say, darkies, have you scen Ulysses, wid the mustache
on his face,
The white folks say how he's sartain sure to fill old
Andy's place ;
He's fifty foot one way, sixty foot 'tother, and wears
three silver stars,
His coat is blue with big gilt buttons, and he smokes the
strong segars.

CHORUS.

Oh, massa say ha I ha ! darkie laugh ho ! ho !
It must be now the election's comin' in the year of Jubilo.


He smokes all de time like a Union gunboat, a-kindlin'
of its fires,
And whatever he says goes as swift as lightnin' along de
'lectric wires ;
His shinin' eye am a great deal brighter than the golden
light of day,
And if by chance you should come across him, de darkie
faint away. 

CHORUS

His beard is thick as a tangled canebreak; and his mus-
tache dreadful long,

And if lie sneeze it 'll knock you over, lie is so mighty
strong ;
He cough one day down in old Virginny when a-chasin'
General Lee,
And all de ships in do big Potomac river went sailing out
to sea- 

CHORUS


Oh, I've got a vote along wid massa, on the big election
day,
I'll give it sure to the great Ulysses, who drove the rebs
away ;
He's fifty foot one way, sixty foot 'tother, and he wears
three shiny stars,
His coat is blue with big gilt buttons, and he smokes the
strong segars.

CHORUS
