DE HISTORY OB DE WORLD
Sung by Wm. Parker in the popular extravaganza of the Buffalo Gals at the Adelphi. Also in his concerts in England. Arranged for the piano forte by T. Contreso.
Boston: Oliver Ditson, 1847.

1. O, I come from ole Virginny wid my head full ob knowledge,
And I neber went to free school nor any oder colledge;
But one ting I will tell you which am a solemn fact:
I tell you how dis world was made in a twinkling ob a crack.

CHORUS: Den walk in. Den walk in, I say.
Den walk in, and hear de banjo play.
Den walk into de parlor and hear de banjo ring,
And watch dis nigger's fingers while he plays upon de string.

2. Oh dis world was made in six days, and den dey made de sky,
And den dey hung it ober head, and left it dar to dry;
And den dey made de stars, out ob nigger wench's eyes,
For to gib a little light when de moon didn't rise.

3. So Adam was de first man, Ebe she was de oder,
And Cain walk'd on de treadmill because he killed his broder.
Ole Modder Ebe couldn't sleep widout a piller,
And de greatest man dat eber lived was Jack de giant killer.

4. And den dey made de sea, and in it put a whale,
And den dey made a raccoon wid a ring around his tail.
All de oder animals was finished one by one,
And stuck against de fence to dry as fast as dey were done.

5. O Lightning is a yellow gal. She libs up in de clouds;
And Thunder he's a black man, for he can hollow loud.
When he kisses Lightning, she dodges off in wonder,
Den he jumps and tears his trousers, and dat's what makes de thunder.

6. O de wind begin to blow, and de rain begin to fall,
And de water come so high dat it drowned de niggers all;
And it rained forty days and nights exactly, by de counting,
And it landed Noah's ark 'pon de Alleghany Mountains.
