Sling along, sling along, sling along!
De moon done riz,
Dem eyes o’ his of those old-fashioned
Done sighted you, days
Where you stopped to woo.
Sting along, sling along!
Prayer that shel It ain’t no use fu’ to try to hide;
De moonbeam allus at yo’ side,
He hang f’om de fence, he drap f’om de rew that lies
limb; Dey ain’t no use bein’ skeered
Eling along, sling along! the di o’ him- but its essence as rare
Sting along, sling along, sling along the peur shall
De brook hit flow, dreams of that off
Fu’ to let you know
That he saw that kiss,J. W. Foley
An’ he know yo’ bliss.
Sling along, sling along!
He run by yo’ side,
An’ he say howdy-do.
He ain’t gwine to tell, but his eye’s on you.
You can lay all yo’ troubles on de very highest she’f,
Fu’ de little old brook’s jes’ a-talkin’ to hisse’f-
Sling along, sling along!
-Paul Laurence Dunbar
