[Josh has taken a liking to Bessie, she works with her brother on the neighboring plantation; helps Josh with his two boys, and now Josh has created a song for her, he is wooing her, it would seem. She has come over to his shanty in the back of the Hightower house, by the carrel. They are now sitting on the little porch, in two rockers, and he is singing this song to her; Josh is not know to have ever been too romantic, in the past, or future, nor in the present, but he is here a little more balanced than in most previous episodes.
To night she comes to de arms of dhe lover
Tak dey time I can hear de cooing of de bird
Dont you hears what de birds say?
Tak dey time I can hear de cooing of de bird
Miles an miles away.
Oh stay, stay! De Josh he say,
Aint you hear what de birds say?
Oh, stay, stay de birds say,
Hush de mout, de birds say,
Listen de birds say,
I can hear de soundin of he singin
De lover he say
De win din of he song.
Take you time de bird say
Old Josh is on he way
Oh, listen to what de bird say
Bessie, Bessie aint you her
De soundin of he bird;
Have no fear, de bird say
He aint but a mile away
Take you time, oh yes de bird say
Not too late for Bessie an me
I hear de bird sing.
