will marion cook – on emancipation day lyrics
(verse 1)
streets are g+y
on de way
all de alleys done turned out
mistah giles
wid miss liles
make a figure widout doubt
hyeah dey come
lord dat drum
in de black ban’ holds de sway
‘cept de brass
give it sass
on emanc+p+tion day
darkies standin on tip toe
makin goo+goos at de show
(chorus)
on emanc+p+tion day
all you white fo’ks clear de way
brass ban’ playin sev’ral tunes
darkies eyes look jes’ la’k moons
marshall of de day a struttin’
lord but he is g+y
coons dressed up lak masqueraders
porters armed lak rude invaders
when dey hear dem ragtime tunes
white fo’ks try to pass fo’ coons
on emanc+p+tion day
(verse 2)
heah um cry
my oh my
when de ‘cession shows its head
majors brown
ridin’ down
on cart hosses decked in red
t++th lak pearls
greet the girls
standin’ dere lak dusky storms
oh! my pet
what a set
of owdacious uniforms
generals stiff as hick’ry sticks
in de dress of seventy six
(chorus)
on emanc+p+tion day
all you white fo’ks clear de way
brass ban’ playin sev’ral tunes
darkies eyes look jes’ la’k moons
marshall of de day a struttin’
lord but he is g+y
coons dressed up lak masqueraders
porters armed lak rude invaders
when dey hear dem ragtime tunes
white fo’ks try to pass fo’ coons
on emanc+p+tion day
