Lyrics:


Come, my love, and go with me,
    Ah! My love, I'll meet you!
Take you down to Tennesee,
    Meet you bye and bye.
Wipe your eyes and don't you cry,
    Come, My love, I'll meet you!
I'll be back, so stop dat sigh,
    Meet you bye and bye.
Hoe de corn,
    Hoe de corn, Moses,
Hoe de corn, Moses, hoe de corn.
Chorus:
    Get away from dat window,
    My love and my dove,
    Get away from dat window,
    Don't you hear?         Oh! my, yes!
    Come some other night,
    For dar's goin' to be a fight,
    Dar'll be razors a-flying in the air.
Don't you hear der niggers now?
    Ah! My love, I'll meet you!
Oh! dere's goin' to be a row,
    Meet you bye and bye.
All them Nigs is cut to death,
    Ah! My love, I greet you!
I'm the only Nig that's left,
    Meet you bye and bye.
Hoe de corn,
    Hoe de corn, Moses,
Hoe de corn, Moses, hoe de corn.
Chorus

Ole man he has gone to rest,
    Oh! My love, I greet you!
Dress yourself up in your best,
    Meet you bye and bye.
To de parson we will run,
    Oh! My love, I greet you!
Soon he'll make us darkeys one,
    Meet you bye and bye.
Hoe de corn,
    Hoe de corn, Moses,
Hoe de corn, Moses, hoe de corn.
Chorus
