A poem by Thomas W. Talley

The Alabama Way

________________________________________________
Title:     The Alabama Way
Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

'Way down yon'er "in de Alerbamer way,"
De Niggers goes to wo'k at de peep o' de day.
De bed's too short, an' de high posts rear;
De Niggers needs a ladder fer to climb up dere.
De cord's wore out, an' de bed-tick's gone.
Niggers' legs hang down fer de chickens t' roost on.







[The end]
