Bat! Bat![48]




From: ONE NEGRO THEME SUNG WITH "FROG WENT A-COURTING"

Bat! Bat! Come un'er my hat,
An' I'll give you a slish o' bacon.
But don't bring none y[=o]' ole bedbugs,
If you don't want to git fersaken.

[48] A superstition that it is good luck to catch a bat in one's hat if
he doesn't get bedbugs by so doing.
