Lyrics of Love and Laughter

An' he said de colah question,
Hit was ovah, solved, an' done,
Dat de dahky was his brothah,
Evah bless mothah's son.

Well he settled all de trouble
Dat's been pesterin' de lan',
Den he set down mid de cheerin'
An' de playin' of de ban'.
I was feelin' moughty happy
'Twell I hyeahed somebody speak,
"Well, dat's his side of de bus'ness,
But you wait for Jones nex' week."

BLACK SAMSON OF BRANDYWINE.

"In the fight at Brandywine, Black Samson, a giant negro armed with a scythe, sweeps his way thro' the red ranks..."
C.M. Skinner's "Myth and Legends of Our Own Land."

Gray are the pages of record,
Dim are the volumes of eld;
Else had old Delaware told us
More that her history held.
