Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Him whut gits me fu' a wife
'Ll be proud, you bet yo' life.
I's had offers; some ain't quit;
But I hasn't ma'ied yit!
Speak up, Ike, an' 'spress yo'se'f.

Ike, I loves you, - yes, I does; 
You's my choice, and allus was.
Laffin' at you ain't no harm.-
Go 'way, dahky, whah's yo' arm?
Hug me closer- dah, dat's right!
Wasn't you a awful sight,
Havin' me to baig you so?
Now ax whut you want to know,-
Speak up, Ike, an' 'spress yo'se'f!

THE BOOGAH MAN.
W'EN de evenin' shadders
Come a-glidin' down,
Fallin' black an' heavy
Ovah hill an' town,
