OH, WHAR WILL I GO IF DIS WAR BREAKS DE COUNTRY UP.

Written by J.B. MURPHY

1. Oh where will I go if dis war breaks de country up, And de darkeys hab to scatter around, Dis dam bobolition, mancipation and sesession Am a gwine to run de nigger in de ground! De bobolitioin here, De secession dare, And neather one nor t'other of 'em's right, But one says dis, de oder says dat, And dey both got de country in a fight, But what can a poor nigger do.

2. Now what is de use b dis jangulating fighting? Botheration to de country so forlorn? Why don't dey tend to bussness, making boats and building railroads? While de niggers raise de cotton and de corn, But Massachusetts dar and South Carolina here, Disturb dis happy Union wid de growl, One says dey shall, de oder says dey shan't, And Uncle Sam has got to stand it all, But what can a poor nigger do.

3. Oh I wish dat de white folks ob dis great confederation, Would only quit dar quarrells and dar fight, And stop dar cannonading, marching, shooting, and bombarding, And be willing for to use each oder right. For it's very plain to see dat de end would be, Dat dey'd know each oder better dan before, And dey'd made up dar minds, dat in all future times, Dey would not go and do it any more, And dat's what I want dem for to do.

4. What a deuc'd shame it is dis sesession revolution, Am a useing up de bussness ob de land! While trade an navigation, merchandising, speculation Hab very nearly come to a stand! De crops won't be grow'd, De meadows won't be mow'd, 'Kase dar's nobudy left for to tend 'em, Dar's a scarcity it seems, ob cabbaage peas an' beans, Kase dar's nobudy home for to send 'em. Den what's a hungry nigger gwine to do.
