Carried Interest
Old Black Joe, he carry de Interest
in de big ole sack fo De Man! The
Mississippi Mud beats his feet and
he be screamin’ "I be promise de chicken!"
“One every day! if'n you carries me too!”
De Man, he too fat t'walk now, n’ Joe he
carry him too.
But dat no good! He too heavy wit de sack,
n' Joe drop de whole kit-n-kaboodle n’
himself in de mud.
Sack, it pop open n’ make de whole world
golden light. All de Negroes comes and sings
de spirituals.
De Man he yell to shut up, n’ get dat gold
back in de sack!
“I'm requirin new Negroes,” he shout. “Two!
chickens a day.”
“Zero sum game!” Joe shout back, he dying.
“And I ends up de zero.”
“Oh who oh who will carry my Interest now?”
De fat man he sing pretty good.
But he find out de white man can be slave
like anybody else.
And de next week de new white man carry his
Interest. N' another white man do carry De Man!
N’ d’other white mens, dey learns de spirituals!
But can sing right away Old White Joe!
