Frog in the well:
In South Carolina de darkies go,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Dat's whar de white folks plant the tow.
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Cover the ground all over with smoke,
Sing song Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
And up de darkies' heads dey poke.
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!

Chorus: Kemo, kimo! Dar! Oh whar?--
With my hi, my ho, and in come Sally, singing
Sometimes penny winkle, lingtum, nip-cat,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!

Milk in de dairy nine days old,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Frogs and de 'skeeters gettin~R mighty bold,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Dey try for to sleep, but it ain't no use,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Dere legs hang out for de chickens to roost,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!

Chorus.

Dar was a frog lived in a pool,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
Sure he was de biggest fool,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
For he could dance, and he could sing,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!
And make de woods around him ring,
Sing song, Kitty, can't you ki' me, oh!

Chorus.
