From Negro Folk Rhymes (1922)
Mythology & Folklore
You see: I had a liddle pig,
I fed 'im on slop;
He got so fat
Dat he almos' pop.
An' den: I tuck de liddle pig,
An' I rid 'im to school;
He e't ginger cake,
An' it tu'n 'im a fool.
But: He grunt de lessons,
An' keep all de rule,
An' he make 'em all think
Dat he learn in de cool.
