ALL COONS LOOK ALIKE TO ME
written by Ernest Hogan
Sung by Arthur Collins, accompanied on banjo by Vess L Ossman, Edison Record 7317,
1902..
1 - Talk about a coon a having trouble,
I think I have enough of ma own.
Its all about ma Lucy Janey Stubbles,
and she has caused my heart to mourn.
Thar s another coon a barber from Virginia.
In society he is the leader of the day.
And now ma honey gal is gwine to quit me,
yes she s gone and drove this coon away.
She had no excuse, to turn me loose.
I have been abused, I am all confused.
Cause these words she then did say....
CHORUS - All coons look alike to me,
I have got another beau you see.
And he is just as good to me
as you ever tried to be.
He spends his money free,
I know we cant agree.
So, I don't like you no how,
All coons look alike to me.
2 - Never said a word to hurt her feelings,
I always bought her presents by the score.
And now my brain with sorrow am a reeling,
cause she won't accept them any more.
If I treated her wrong, she may have loved me,
Like all the rest she s gone and let me down.
If I am lucky I am a gwine to catch my policy,
and win my sweet thing way from town.
For I am worried, yes, I am desprate.
I have been Jonashed, and I will get dangerous.
In these words she says to me.......
REPEAT CHORUS.
