Words & Music by James S. Putnam. Arranged by Harry F. Williams. Boston: White, Smith & Company, 1880. Tomorrow I am gwine away, If the weather it is fine, I'm gwine down to ole Kentuck To see dat gal ob mine, I'll get dar in de ebenin, For de moon begin to rise, And when dem darkies see me, golly! Won't dey be surprised. CHORUS. For I will be dar, I'll be dar, I'll be dar, yes indeed I will, I'll be dar, I'll be dar, When de moon am peepin' from de tree, I'll be dar, I'll be dar, I'll be dar, yes indeed I will, I'll be dar, I'll be dar, And we'll have a jolly time. Way down in ole Kentucky state, Where I was bred and born, I worked among de sugar cane, De cotton and de corn, Now when dem darkies see me, Dey all will shout and sing, Lucinda, here is brudder bones, Now cut de pigeon wing. I'm gwine to wed Lucinda, yes, For she is dear to me, And when de parson makes us one How happy I will be; She knows well that I love her, For my letters always say, Lucinda, when I git home, We'll be married right away. |
