My gal is a highborn lady | 1 |
Barney Fagan, pop song writer | 2 |
She's black but not too shady | 3 |
Rides in a surrey with a lighter | 4 |
Feathered like a peacock, just as gay | 5 |
Lady as he pimps for dimes | 6 |
She is not colored, she was born that way | 7 |
In that runaway hit of 1899 | 8 |
I'm proud of my black Venus | 9 |
Arising, the song they're singing | 10 |
No coon can come between us | 11 |
Fagan, girl and their black trap bringing | 12 |
Along the line they can't outshine | 13 |
dark trade to this present day | 14 |
This highborn gal of mine | 15 |
dressed in no different way | 16 |

counterpoint | 17 |
