SONGS OF THE BLACKS.

I. THE NEW JIM CROW.

THEY may talk about philosophy,
But I'm prepared to show
'Tis all comprised in wheel about,
And jump Jim Crow.

Turn about, and wheel about, and do just so-
Every time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow.

When a gentleman wants money,

And cash is running low,

To raise it how he'll wheel about,

And jump Jim Crow.

Wheel about, and turn about, &c.

Not a single lady in the land,

If you look from high to low,

But for a husband wheels about,
And jumps Jim Crow.

Wheel about, and turn about, &c.

Then there's the politician,
Out of place he'll never go;

But to keep it how he'll turn about,
And jump Jim Crow.

Turn about, and wheel about, &c. The lawyer, that proves black is white, (To him I'd better go,)

How a fee will make him wheel about,

And jump Jim Crow !

Wheel about, and turn about, &c.

See Ireland's Agitator,

(The biggest tatur it can grow,)

For the rint, oh! don't he wheel about,

And jump Jim Crow.

Turn about, and wheel about, &c.

The soldier in the battle,

When beaten by the foe

For life, oh! won't he wheel about,

And jump Jim Crow.

Turn about, and wheel about, &c.

There's Massa Yates, the playhouse man.

To bring people to his show,

Oh! Golly, don't he wheel about,

And jump Jim Crow ?

Wheel about, and turn about, &c

Thus 'tis clear, without a doubt,

Through life with luck to go,
We are all obliged to turn about,
And jump Jim Crow.

Wheel about, and turn about, and do just so,
Eberry time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow.
II. A NIGGER'S REASONS.

proper.

Chorus-Ching-ring-bango-golly loo,
Ching-ring-bango-nigger,
Know well how take care he'self,
'Cause Number One a figger.

Times keep growing berry bad-
Through care or Massa Cupid;
Some kill demselves a'cause 'em mad,
And some a'cause 'em stupid.
Nigger man de wiser head,
And far de best persuasion
He nebber kill himself at all-
'Cause he no occasion.

Chorus.-Ching-ring-bango, &c.

Nigger lub new rum galore,

But all in moderation,

For if he take a drop too much
May lose him sittybashun.

But should friend invite him home,
Afore him good tings putting.
Den no objection drink like mad-
'Cause it cost him notting.

Chorus-Ching-ring-bango, &c.

He nebber care for making love,
Dat troble never move him,
Nigger man wid handsome face
Make eberry body love him;
He like a widder best wid cash,
Dat not a chance to pass-a-
'Cause when he de money touch,
No care a damn for Massa.

Chorus-Ching-ring-bango, &c.

He no like at all to cry,
Sorrow make all crusty ;
He tink it best to laugh all day,

A'cause it make him lusty.

Nigger lub good living well,

Starvation make him frightful :

He like rump-teaks and oyster-sauce

'Cause 'em so delightful.

THEATRE-ROYAL, LITTLE PEDLINGTON

THE MANAGER'S ROOM.

THE Theatre-Royal, Little Pedlington, is to be opened for the season on Monday next. This being Saturday, all within its walls is bustle and activity, whilst crowds of suitors for an interview with the manager are impatiently waiting without. Amidst the din of hammers and the grating of saws, the tragedians are, on the stage, rehearsing an entirely new melo-drama, to be called the Hatchet of Horror; or, the Massacred Milk-maid. In the green-room, Miss Warble, assisted by the director of the orchestra, is practising the song "incidental to the play;" in the painting-room, Mr. Smearwell is giving the last touches to the scene "painted expressly for the occasion;" in the saloon, Miss Sally Jumps -or, as she is described in the play-bill, Mademoiselle Sara des Entrechats-is endeavouring to place her right foot on her left shoulder, and performing others of the ordinary exercises preparatory to the execution of a grand pas seul; whilst, in a small shed connected with the stage, are the machinist and the property-man, sewing up a donkey in a cow's hide, to represent the "identical favourite cow" of the massacred milkmaid. But let us proceed to the manager's room.

At a table covered with play-books, manuscripts, and letters, in an easy chair is seated Mr. Strut, the "enterprising and spirited" manager. With evident satisfaction he is contemplating the bill of the Monday's performances. At each magniloquent phrase he rubs his hands; his eyes sparkle with delight as they are attracted by the lines which stand prominent, in the full dignity of large capitals; and, as he counts the notes of admiration, which bristle on the paper like pins in the ornamental cushion of a lady's toilet-table, his imagination riots in the promise of nightly overflows throughout the season. Peruse the interesting document.

THEATRE ROYAL, LITTLE PEDLINGTON. MR. STRUT has the heartfelt gratification of announcing to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in general, that he has once more the honour of assuming the direction of this Theatre, which will open on Monday next, and takes the liberty to flatter himself that the
