Paul Laurence Dunbar - The Boogah Man
Work rating: Low

W`EN de evenin` shadders
Come a-glidin` down,
Fallin` black an` heavy
Ovah hill an` town,
Ef you listen keerful,
Keerful ez you kin,
So`s you boun` to notice
Des a drappin` pin;
Den you`ll hyeah a funny
Soun` ercross de lan`;
Lay low; dat`s de callin`
Of de Boogah Man!
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hyeah him ez he go erlong de way;
Woo-oo, woo-o!
Don` you wish de night` ud tu`n to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide yo` little peepers `hind yo` han`;
Woo-oo,woo-oo!
Callin` of de Boogah Man.
W`en de win`s a-shiverin`
Thoo de gloomy lane,
An` dey comes de patterin`
Of de evenin` rain,
W`en de owl`s a-hootin`,
Out daih in de wood,
Don` you wish, my honey,
Dat you had been good?
`T ain`t no use to try to
Snuggle up to Dan;
Bless you, dat`s de callin`
Of de Boogah Man!
Ef you loves yo` mammy,
An` you min`s yo` pap,
Ef you nevah wriggles
Outen Sukey`s lap;
Ef you says yo` "Lay me"
Evah single night
`Fo` dey tucks de kivers
An` puts out de light,
Den de rain kin pattah,
Win` blow lak a fan,
But you need n` bothah
`Bout de Boogah Man!
