Waring Cuney, "Jes Moochin' Along" 1928)
Jes moochin' along,
Down de road.
Jes moochin' along,
Wid ma load.
Turn to de Bible
An' you will see,
Down an' out folks
Like you an' me.
Jes moochin' along,
Down de road.
Jes moochin' along,
Wid ma load.
Dere was po' Mary
A low down gal,
Jesus tol' her
I'm yo' pal.
Jes moochin' along,
Down de road.
Jes moocliin' along,
Wid ma load.
Look at Daniel
In de lions' den,
Lions wouldn't bite
Dem Christian men.
Jes moochin' along,
Down de road.
Jes moochin' along,
Wid ma load.
Oh, I wilt fallow
'Till judgment day,
'Cause ma Lawd
Leads de way.
Jes moochin' along,
Down de road.
Jes moochin' along,
Wid ma load.
