T. Brigham Bishop, 1869

(3x) I think I hear the angels sing, The angels now are on the wing. I feel, I feel, I feel, that’s what my mother said, The angels pouring ’lasses down, upon this nigger’s head. Chorus: (3x) Shew! fly, don’t bother me, I belong to comp’ny G. (3x) I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star. 2. (3x) If I sleep in the sun this nigger knows, A fly come sting him on the nose. I feel, I feel, I feel, that’s what my mother said, When ever this nigger goes to sleep, he must cover up his head. Chorus:
