O babies gather 'round old Uncle Rastus
I wants to tell something very strange
The color of the moon am gwine to change
And a coon, is to blame
The white trash will fool all those wot's easy
They think we are ignorant I presume
The eclipse tomorrow night, will prove that I is right
There's a nigger in the moon
No white trash can fool me, fool me, fool me
There's a nigger in the moon
Rastus knows, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, is caused by a coon
Someday just wander, wander, wander, way up in a balloon
And then you'll know what I know
There's a nigger in the moon
No white trash, can fool me, fool me, fool me
There's a nigger in the moon
Rastus knows, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, is caused by a coon
Some day just wander, wander, wander, way up in a balloon
And then you'll know what I know
There's a nigger in the moon
ย
Now ev'ry warm coon, they has a Venus
Whether on this earth or in the sky above
And behind the moon I know there is a lady
Warmest baby, when night's shady
This coon, he loves his Venus so madly
Seems he'd hang behind the moon till break of doom
But when he comes round our way
Just remember what I say
There's a nigger in the moon
No white trash, can fool me, fool me, fool me
There's a nigger in the moon
Rastus knows, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, is caused by a coon
Some day just wander, wander, wander, way up in a balloon
And then you'll know what I know
There's a nigger in the moon
No white trash, can fool me, fool me, fool me
There's a nigger in the moon
Rastus knows, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, is caused by a coon
Some day just wander, wander, wander, way up in a balloon
And then you'll know what I know
There's a nigger in the moon
ย
No white trash, can fool me, fool me, fool me
There's a nigger in the moon
Rastus knows, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, is caused by a coon
Some day just wander, wander, wander, way up in a balloon
And then you'll know what I know
There's a nigger in the moon
