I didn't realize until today that there were lyrics:


I attended a ball last Thursday night

Given by the dark town swells.

Every coon came out in full dress alright

and the girls were society belles.

The hall was illuminated by electric lights

It certainly was a sight to see.

So many colored folks there without a razor fight

'Twas a great surprise to me.
