quawkiii.Keep silence for your betters—dont you hear de bango talkin,?About de possums tail shes gwine to lecter—ladies, listen!—About de har what isnt dar, an why de har is missin. De ark she keeps a sailin, an a sailin, an a sailin; De lion got his dander up, an like to bruk de palin— De sarpints hissed—de painter yelled—tell, what wid all de fussin.You cudnt hardly heah de mate a-bossin roun an cussln. Now Ham, de only nigger what was runnin on de packet.Got lonesome in de barber shop, an cudnt stan de racket;An so for to amuse he-self, he steamed some wood an bent It,An soon he had a bango made—de fust dat was invented. He wet de ledder, stretched it on, made bridge, an screws, an apron;An fitted in a proper neck—twas very long an taprin.He tuk some tin, an* twisted him a thimble for to ring it;An de mighty question riz, how was he gwine to string it? ♦Report of Geolog. Sur. of Ohio, Vol. IV. Zoology, page 170,as a quotation from Scribners Monthly, January, 1878.

He strung her, tuned her, struclt a jig—twas Nebber min de wedder;She soun lilce forty-leven bands, a playin* all togedder;Some went to pattin, some to dancin; Noah called de Aggers,An Ham he sot and knocked de tune, de happiest ob niggers! Now, sence dat time—its mighty strange—deres not de slight-est showinOb any har at all upon de possums tail a-growin.An curls, too—dot niggers ways; his people nebber los em—For where you finds de nigger, dars de bango an de possum!
