James Weldon Johnson - Dat Gal o` MineJames Weldon Johnson - Dat Gal o` Mine
Work rating: Low


Skin as black an` jes as sof` as a velvet dress, Teeth as white as ivory —well dey is I guess. Eyes dat`s jes as big an` bright as de evenin` star; An` dat hol` some sort o` light lublier by far. Hair don`t hang `way down her back; plaited up in rows; Wid de two en`s dat`s behin` tied wid ribben bows. Han`s dat raly wuz`n made fu` hard work. I`m sho`; Got a little bit o` foot; weahs a numbah fo`. You jes oughtah see dat gal Sunday`s w`en she goes To de Baptis` meetin` house, dressed in her bes` clo`es. W`en she puts her w`ite dress on an` othah things so fine; Now, Su`, don`t you know I`m proud o` dat gat o` mine.
