Just-a take this-a tip, I'm givin' you now, Hesitate, Mister Nigger, hesitate. Down at-a Johnson's rollin' dem-a dice, Ev'ry body bettin' mighty high, He tried to do some cheatin' once or twice, I caught him for I had my eagle eye. His point was \"Jo\" for me an easy throw, He finds it rather difficult instead, I see him get his crooked bones, So quietly I said: Hesitate, Mister Nigger, hesitate, I aint a-goin to tell you more than twice Now make your \"Jo\" we've faded all your dough And see you doesn't use your loaded dice, You've got the name for shooting crooked game, You're known to ev'ry nigger in the State Before you roll dem spotted bones, Hesitate, Mister Nigger, hesitate. Old Mister Jackson's got a melon patch, An a-ere lot that's full of nigger fruit, But not a coon would try to steal-a one For Jackson is a terror on the shoot. This nigger bet a melon he would get, So waited till the owner was in bed, He'd scarcely got inside the gate, When mister Jackson said: Hesitate, Mister Nigger, hesitate, Don't lay your hands upon forbidden fruit Now drop the sack you've got upon your back And skedaddle in a hurry or I'll shoot, And if you think you'll ever try again, To rob me of my melons let me state, Some good advice will come in nice, Hesitate, Mister Nigger, hesitate."}],"description":"Hesitate Mr. Nigger, hesitate: an African
