1. Oh down in Indiana woods
Whar color’d Angels grow
Dar I fust track’d a darkey gal
Her name was Dinah Doe
Her shape was like a sheaf ob corn
Her step was like de Roe
An my heart an heel was beating
To follow Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. I foller her thro’ flow’ry woods
Each step she walk more slow
An’ when she peeped behind I thought
The stars had dropt below
For her eyes where like de risen moon
When daylight out does go
And my heart an’ heel was beating
To foller Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. While looken round, she bumped a tree
An’ backward down she go
I catch her in dese trobbing arms
As an eagle catch a crow
Oh she trembled like a color’d lamb
Out in a storm ob snow
Ah my heart it beat de banjo
While I hold sweet Dinah Doe
Ah my heart it beat de banjo
While I hold sweet Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. I prest de wound, I kiss her lip
And she revived not slow
Her teeth showed like white grains ob corn
Laid in a double row
An her breath was like de summer winds
Dat on de clover blow
Oh she vowed dat night to lope wid me
De charming Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. I help in my log Canoe
An down de stream I row
I want no light to steer by, but
De eyes ob Dinah Doe
Oh we ride fas down de river
While de waters gaily flow
I thought her mine for ever
Dis Charming Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. But her Massa’s Driver spy her out
While fishen down below
He shot sweet Dinah thro’ de breast
And in de stream she go
Oh! her cry was like a dying dove
Right through my soul it go
And dis poor heart is beating
To foller Dinah Doe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
