1.
Says dat blackbird to de crow,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
What makes dese white folks love us so?
Oh, my! hallelujah!
As I went in de valley to pray,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
I met old Satan on de way,
Oh, my! hallelujah!

Chorus.
Railroad train am passing thro',
Dis world am saying how-de do;
And sister, I am coming too,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
(Faster)
Byme bye, byme bye,
Stars number one, number two, number three, number four.
Byme bye .... byme bye,
Good Lord,.... byme bye.
2.
As I was crossing yonder field,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
Black snake bit me on de heel,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
Turned around to run my best,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
Left foot stopped in a hornet's nest,
Oh, my! hallelujah!
Chorus.
