From Miss Doris Overton. Durham, July 1922. Dr. White notes:
"Probalily modern minstrel — I remember learning it as such about lyoo-

That's where my money goes,

To huy my bahy clothes.

I'd do 'most any old thing

To keep that woman in style.

She's w^orth her weight in gold.

My coal-black Venus.

Sav, bcjys, that's where my money goes.
