Not sure where this fits in or where it's from, sort of the B-side to John B to the tune of Froggy Went a Courtin' or Keemo Kimo but with minstrel lyrics:

“...the Colonel, seeing the good effect of one song*, struck up another, which I may as well give too:

When you're single, you're at your ease,
But when you are married, you got a wife to please —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

The funniest thing I ever saw
Was a cockroach living with his mother-in-law —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

I'm goin' to whistle and I'm goin' to sing,
And tell you about the purty little thing, —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

If you want to see Mr. Jackson laugh
Just change a dollar and give him half —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

What you goin' to do when it's half-past eight,
And the boss he say, "You come too late" —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

Beefsteak cookin' and the onions fryin',
And the old folks laughin' and the children cryin' —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

"What are you doin' workin' so hard?"
"Tryin' to keep my wife out of white folks' yard" —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

Of all the joys you find in life,
The greatest is a charmin' wife —
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.

Goin' to hang my kettle on the white folks' gate,
Get it full of pork chops, cheese, and steak
Babe, Honey, it ain't no lie.”
