Wen de Ole Hoim Bays f^VH, de stars is jes a crinklin,^^ But de moon is in de dark,De sly ole coons a runnin,vSo you lissen, an you hark,Wen de ole houn bays. De pups is runnin rabbits,Caus a pup ain1 got no sense;73 Wen de Ole Houn Bays Ole coon is jes a laffin,Caus de show aint done commenceTill de ole houn bays. Dars a hummin in de tree topsAn a ripplin in de run,An it only lacks de musicDats pretty nigh begunWen de ole houn bays. Oh, glory! did you hear it?Oh, Massa, hear it ring!Its as meller as de AutumnAn its welcome as de Spring,Wen de ole houn bays. Dey aint no music like itFer dese ole ears o mine,It tingles in de fingersAn it warms de heart like wineWen de ole houn bays.74
