Subject: RE: Jim Along Josie: lyrics and origin
It's easy to see the folk process at work here. Compare the above post to the third verse of my original post:

Oh! When I get dat new coat I expects to hab soon,
Likewise new pair tight-kneed trousaloon,
Den I walk up and down Broadway wid my Suzanna,
And the white folks will take me to be Santa Anna.

Thanks to all who have contributed.
