Sorry I didn't find this earlier. The sheet music can be viewed online at the University of Tennessee website. Only one verse is given. There is a 4-part harmony arrangement of the chorus.


SANTY CLAUS IS COMIN' 'FORE DE MORNIN'
Words by C. L. Mays, music by M. P. Hunter, "sung by Miss Bessie Wentworth"
London: Francis, Day & Hunter, ©1898.

1. I don't care much about de sunshine,
And don't bother much about de rain,
I'm always thinkin' ob de southern clime
And a home I may never see again.
Tryin' mighty hard to keep from weepin',
Longin' for de Mississippi shore,
Where de steamboats used to go a-sweepin'
By my cabin door.

CHORUS: I do feel sorry dat I was set free,
Massa and missus were so good to me,
My heart's just aching and a-breakin'
Their faces just to see once more.
Piccaninnies singin' roun' de fires so bright;
Hangin' up their stockings on Christmas night,
'Cause Santy Claus is comin' 'fore de mornin'
To de cabin on de Mississippi shore.
