ase de Spooks am all away;An’ I’se berry much happier dan at night. Fo’ den ’tis Mister Sunshine,Chase de stars away ter sleep, Aw de spooks, dey all go wid ’em,Den we has no time ter weep;Kase we mus’ be up an’ doin’,Fer de day is moughty short; An’ befo’ I ebber kno’s it, ’Twel be night-time, lak ez not.
