TWO MORE EXAMPLES:

1. Yaller Gal with a Josey on, The
Baltimore: F. D. Benteen, 1849. As sung by Nightingale Ethiopian Serenaders

I see'd a dashing yaller gal,
One day upon the levee,
Her form was round her step was light
But wa'nt her bustle heavy!

She cast a tender glance on me,
And my heart was gone Oh!
She was the taring yaller gal,
That had a josey on,

Chorus: Oh yes, we all remember her
She used to hoe the corn,
She's the dashing yaller gal
That had a Josey on.

2. From Bert Mayfield was born in Garrard County, May 29, 1852, two miles south of Bryantsville on Smith Stones place.

One song we would always sing was:

Who ting-a-long? Who ting-a-long?
Who's been here since I've been gone?
A pretty girl with a josey on.
