See dis pictyah in my han`?
    Dat`s my gal;
  Ain`t she purty? goodness lan`!
    Huh name Sal.
  Dat`s de very way she be--
  Kin` o` tickles me to see
  Huh a-smilin` back at me.

  She sont me dis photygraph
    Jes` las` week;
  An` aldough hit made me laugh--
    My black cheek
  Felt somethin` a-runnin` queer;
  Bless yo` soul, it was a tear
  Jes` f`om wishin` she was here.

  Often when I `s all alone
    Layin` here,
  I git t`inkin` `bout my own
    Sallie dear;
  How she say dat I `s huh beau,
  An` hit tickles me to know
  Dat de gal do love me so.

  Some bright day I `s goin` back,
    Fo` de la!
  An` ez sho` `s my face is black,
    Ax huh pa
  Fu` de blessed little miss
  Who `s a-smilin` out o dis
  Pictyah, lak she wan`ed a kiss!
