JIM CROW'S VISIT TO CHURCH.

In New York I went to a nigger meeting,
It was on a Sunday night,
To see old broder Clem,
Dat dey say can read and write.

Turn about and veel about,
And do jis so;
Ebery time I turn about,
I jump Jim Crow.

Vhen I got to de meeting-house,
Dey say you better go,
'Kase you come to raise the debil here,
And jump Jim Crow.
Veel about, &c.

So I crept through de window
And sat myself a-down,
Broder Clem gub out de text,
Den dey hand dey plate around.
Veel about, &c.

In de ninety-leventh chapter
Of de new Almanack,
Dare it tell you all about
De white man and black.
Veel about, &c.

He say dat Cain was de fuss man,
Julycome Caesar was de toder—
Dey put Adam on de treden mill,
’Kase he kill him broder.
Veel about, &c.

And dea dat Mr. Sampson
Was de man dat build de ark,
Mr. Jonas was de fisherman
Who swallow up de shark.
Veel about, &c.

De rain pour down forty days,
By de sailors' counting,
And landed Sampson and de ark
Upon de Alleghany mounting.
Veel about, &c.
