LYRICS

I think I hear the angels sing,
The angels now are on the wing.
I feel, I feel, I feel, that’s what my mother said,
The angels pouring ’lasses down, upon this nigger’s head.

Chorus:
Shew! fly, don’t bother me,
Shew! fly, don't bother me,
Shew! fly, don't bother me,
I belong to comp’ny G.
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star. 
 
If I sleep in the sun this nigger knows,
A fly come sting him on the nose.
I feel, I feel, I feel, that’s what my mother said,
When ever this nigger goes to sleep, he must cover up his head.

Chorus:
