Dolcy Jones - Stephen Foster

Oh ladies don't you wonder

When I again appear:

I've just been ober yonder

To see my Dolcy dear;

For Dolcy steps so lightly

Among de bricks and stone

Her eyes dey shine so brightly

Oh dadda D' D' Dolcy Jones

Bye bye my darling

Sleep to de rattle ob de bones

Slumber till morning

My lubbly Dolcy Jones

Oh when I go a courting

I ride thr'o mud and rain:

I leabe de old hoss snorting

At de corner ob de lane

I find my Dolcy weeping

And charm her wid de bones

Bye'n bye I leabe her sleeping

Oh dadda D' D' Dolcy Jones

Bye bye my darling

Sleep to de rattle ob de bones

Slumber till morning

My lubbly Dolcy Jones

I went up town dis morning

To sing a little song;

Miss Dolcy send me warning

To bring my boots along;

For de yard is paved wid cinder

And de house is built ob stones

And a head is at de window

Oh dadda D' D' Dolcy Jones

Bye bye my darling

Sleep to de rattle ob de bones

Slumber till morning

My lubbly Dolcy Jones

Bye bye my darling

Sleep to de rattle ob de bones

Slumber till morning

My lubbly Dolcy Jones
