And BTW, here is the offending lyric, as I remember it, from my school days. I've done it in minstrel dialect, which is the way I remember us singing it too.I jumped aboard de telegraph
and trabelled down de ribber,
the electrie fluid magnified
and killed ten thousand nigger,
De bulgine burst, de horse ran off
I really thought I'd die
I shut my eyes to hold my breath
Susannah don't you cry.
