I `s boun` to see my gal to-night--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   De moon ain`t out, de stars ain`t bright--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   Dis hoss o` mine is pow`ful slow,   But when I does git to yo` do`   Yo` kiss `ll pay me back, an` mo`,     Dough lone de way, my dearie.   De night is skeery-lak an` still--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   `Cept fu` dat mou`nful whippo`will--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   De way so long wif dis slow pace,   `T `u`d seem to me lak savin` grace   Ef you was on a nearer place,     Fu` lone de way, my dearie.   I hyeah de hootin` of de owl--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   I wish dat watch-dog would n`t howl:--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   An` evaht`ing, bofe right an` lef`,   Seem p`int`ly lak hit put itse`f   In shape to skeer me half to def--     Oh, lone de way, my dearie!   I whistles so`s I won`t be feared--     Oh lone de way, my dearie!   But anyhow I`s kin` o` skeered,     Fu` lone de way, my dearie.   De sky been lookin` mighty glum,   But you kin mek hit lighten some,   Ef you `ll jes` say you`s glad I come,     Dough lone de way, my dearie.
