No. 19 - Dervish Dance
No. 20 - Song and Dance - Rosa
| Rosa: | Oh, when de moon am rising, It's really mos' surprising; She look just through my window pane, And she wake me so I nebber get to sleep again. For, when I'm nearly sleeping, My true lub comes a-creeping, And I hear him calling softly when de wind am still. And de little echoes answer on de hill. It's the gobble-uns a-calling from de hill. Yes, de gobble-uns a-mocking from de hill. Coo-ee, ma girlee, Coo-ee, it's early, Am you asleep so soon? Come out and kiss me, You can not miss me, 'Neath de big white moon. Coo-ee, ma girlee, Coo-ee, it's early, Don't you come out too soon; If you go kiss him, Some day you miss him, He change like Massa moon. |
| But when de old plantation Am all in jubilation, I dress myself up mighty fine. I'm going to de dance with dat young man ob mine. And when de dawn am showing, And de ladies talk ob going, Den he call de banjo man to keep a-strumming still, And de little echoes tinkle on de hill. It's the gobble-uns a-dancing on de hill. Yes, de gobble-uns a-mocking on de hill. Coo-ee, ma girlee, Coo-ee, it's early, Nebber go home so soon; Not many chances Come now for dances 'Neath de summer moon. Coo-ee, ma girlee, Coo-ee, it's early, Else you won't wake up soon; If you're too late out, You hab to wait out 'Neath de chilly moon. |
