1. Dere's a coon around dis town, known as Nigger Knocker Brown
At every yaller gal he rubber necks, Yester day upon der stree,
My babe he chance to meet, An tried his best to knock me, I expects;
He done tole her such a tale 'Bout my bein'ini put in jai
Thinking just to give my babe an awful shock; But when I seen my baby in the
morning, says she: "Dat nigger Borwn was trying to knock." Oh! dat

2. In a chop house Brown once heard As a waiter I'se a bird,
I can trackem fifty high on any tray, De boss am good to me,
An I always gets my fee; Dis nigger tried to knock me there one day;
His order I done take, Brings him in a sirloin steak,
An' he yells "Dis meat am harder dan a rock; De boss got mad, but when he seen de
steak dere, he says: "Dis coon am just a tryin' to knock." see!

3. It was in de month of June, We was on our honey moon,
My babe an me was out to spend the day, Met de Knocker on de beach,
Tho't my wife a little peach, To knock me he at once did make a play;
He says I jest seen Lou, She's a waitin' now for you, Sittin'
down behin de bathhouse on a block, My sweet thing says "Oh! Go along you
nigger for I know you'se a simply tryin' to knock." see!

4. Had a dream de other night, Coon an' me mised in a fight;
He cut me wid his razzor an I died, Up for heaven I was bound,
When I turned an' looke a-round, I see di nigger knocker at my side;
Old Saint Peter says for fun, I'se got room for only one,
De Golden Gates he started to unlock Den dat nig felt his pocket for his
hammer, but I woke up as he began to knock Oh dat

CHORUS:
Nigger is a knocker, de worstest in de land; He'd knock me with my baby if he could He's de dheapest old flunky An' thinks he's something garnd, But his knockiin never don no good.

4th Verse CHORUS
Nigger am a knocker, de worstest in de land; He'd knock me with saint Peter if he could
I always see dat nigger with a hammer in his hand But his knockin never don no good.

Manuscript then rolls into a jig-like dance tune.

I need to review the quick easy ABC notation - it is a catchy little tune - however, maybe midi would be better. I'll jump right on it.
