Here are the lyrics to May Irwin's BIBLE STORIES as I promised you earlier. (See above for songwriting & publishing credits.)

By the way, the terms "darky," "pickaninny," "coon," and the references to razors and lips are irredeemably racist and shouldn't be sung. I provide these lyrics unchanged only for historical reasons, and in the hope that someone more creative than I can figure out how to change this song to make it singable.

1. Old Noah was a sailor man the greatest one afloat
Got a job as captain on a freight and cattle boat.
Swiped a whole menagerie, and stowed it down below
Sold it all to Barnum for his greatest earthly show.

CHORUS 1: Old folks, children, ev'rybody come,
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Please do check your chewing gum and razzars (sic) at the door
You'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.

2. Esau was a cowboy of a wild and wooley make
Daddy left him half the farm and half to brother Jack
But Esau thought his title to the land not very clear
So he sold it to his brother for a sandwich and a beer.

CHORUS 2: Grown folks pickaninnies, ev'rybody come,
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Sit a little quiet please and button up your jaw,
You'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.

3. "Abie" was a patriarch, and had a little boy,
Got a message from the stars to burn his earthly joy,
But Abie thought the saintly ones were putting up a bluff
So he burned a little ram instead and called it good enough.

CHORUS 3: Big folks, little folks, ev'rybody come,
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Open up your pocketbooks, the church am mighty poor,
But you'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.

4. Davy was a shepherd, but a gamy little cuss,
A giant named Goliath came a-looking for a fuss
Davy saw that surely he would have to fight or sneak,
So he pounded him with rocks until his brains began to leak.

CHORUS 4: Black coons, yaller coons, ev'rybody come,
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Shut your eyes and hold on fast, now I am going to roar,
You'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.

5. Sampson was a slugger of the J. L. Sull'van school
Slewed the old Philistine with the jawbone of a mule,
A fairy called Delilah got him loaded full of gin,
Shaved him for a nickel and a copper ran him in.

CHORUS 5: Rich folks, poor folks, ev'rybody come,
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Please don't chew tobacco and spit it on the floor
You'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.

6. Solomon was the wisest man and had a lot of cash,
Queen of Sheba came along and Solly made a mash,
Guess he thought that royalty was rather underpaid,
For he took to writing proverbs though he was a King by trade.

CHORUS 6: Bum coons, flash coons, ev'rybody come
Join the darky Sunday School and make yourselves to home
Stick out your lips, you ornery coons, and laugh until you're sore.
You'll hear more Bible stories than you ever heard before.
