Second verse She's gives the Gals the blues, She has diamond in her shoes, Her dresses are all trimmed with Klondyke gold, That black Gal is dead in line, And she drinks the best of wine. And takes a milk bath every day I'm told, She has caught the darky japs, She plays races and shoots craps, And any debt she owes she's bound to pay, She's a dead swell baby, She's a high born lady, On the corners you'll hear the coons all say,(Chorus) 10 3/4” x 13 3/4 ” – 4 pages Condition: Good condition – one small edge tear middle of spine edge . . . there are two pencil words on the front cover margin and an antique pencil date inside page margin and a sentence in the margin on the back cover (I do not erase notations) . . . there is some dust spotting – please review photos Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! ~ I combine shipping ~ Thanks for looking! 9442 Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
