Work rating: Low

GRANNY`S gone a-visitin`,
Seen huh git huh shawl
W`en I was a-hidin` down
Hime de gyahden wall.
Seen huh put her bonnet on,
Seen huh tie de strings,
An` I`se gone to dreamin` now
`Bout dem cakes an` t`ings.
On de she`f behime de do` — 
Mussy, what a feas`!
Soon ez she gits out o` sight,
I kin eat in peace.
I bin watchin` fu` a week
Des fu` dis hyeah chance.
Mussy, w`en I gits in daih,
I`ll des sholy dance.
Lemon pie an` gingah-cake,
Let me set an` t`ink — 
Vinegah an` sugah, too,
Dat `ll mek a drink;
Ef dey`s one t`ing dat I loves
Mos` pu`ticlahly,
It is eatin` sweet t`ings an`
A-drinkin` Sangaree.
Lawdy, won` po` granny raih
W`en she see de she`f;
W`en I t`ink erbout huh face,
I`s mos` `shamed myse`f.
Well, she gone, an` hyeah I is,
Back behime de do` —
Look hyeah! gran` `s done `spected me,
Dain`t no sweets no mo`.
Evah sweet is hid erway,
Job des done up brown;
Pusson t`ink dat someun t`ought
Dey was t`eves erroun`;
Dat des breaks my heart in two,
Oh how bad I feel! 
Des to t`ink my own gramma
B`lieved dat I `u`d steal!
