Stand Back Black Man[7]




From: DANCE RHYME SECTION

Oh!
Stan' back, black man,
You cain't shine;
Y[=o]' lips is too thick,
An' you hain't my k[=i]n'.

Aw!
Git 'way, black man,
You jes haint fine;
I'se done quit foolin'
Wid de nappy-headed kind.

Say?
Stan' back, black man!
Cain't you see
Dat a kinky-headed chap
Hain't nothin' side o' me?

[7] In a few places in the South, just following the Civil War, the
Mulattoes organized themselves into a little guild known as "The Blue
Vein Circle," from which those who were black were excluded. This is one
of their rhymes.
