Lyrics
1. From yonder dark Cabin what niggers advance
De fust one de tambourine pounding
De moon bright shinning de niggers all dance
And loud de shrill banjo is sounding
And loud de shrill banjo is sounding
And if you ax what you dar behole
Who dar!
Chorus
It am de hunt ob
Cudjo dat nigger so bold
It am de hunt ob Cudjo
Dat nigger so bold
2. Dem niggers for sartain are gwan for to fight
See dar! dat big nigger dere frashing
Dey squash his big head, and dey serve him right
And Cudjo his Banjo is smashing
And Cudjo his Banjo is smashing
And if you ax what you dar behole
Who dar!
