from Bound to Go by Andrew Calhoun

about

from Negro Folk Rhymes, Wise and Otherwise, by Thomas W. Talley (1922)

lyrics

Them ol’ black gnats, they is so bad
I cain’t get outta here
They bites & stings and drives me mad
I cain’t get outta here

Them ol’ black gnats, they sings the song
I cain’t get outta here
Ol’ Satan get you before long
You cain’t get outta here

They burns my ears, gets in my eye
I cain’t get outta here
They makes me dance, they makes me cry
I cain’t get outta here

I fans and knocks but they won’t go away
I cain’t get outta here
They makes me wish was Judgment Day,
For I cain’t get outta here
