Miss Julie- Flora Lassiter (Cindy-Banks of the Ohio)
[This is a dance song similar to Cindy/Lisa Jane/Banks of the Ohio (Black them Boots). This is not the murder ballad, "Banks of the Ohio."
R. Matteson 2014]
MISS JULIE
1. Oh, come, oh, come Miss Julie
Oh come and go with me
There's lots I can buy and cabins I can build
On the banks of the Ohio!
2. I asked Miss Julie to marry me,
And what do you think she said?
She said she would not marry me
Till everybody else was dead!
3. I went to see Miss Julie,
The sun was half an hour high,
I stayed till the dew dropped in my shoe,
Miss Julie hung her head and cried.
4. I went to see Miss Julie,
She met me at the door;
She threw her arms around my neck,
And told me to come no more.
The tune of this song was remembered by Mrs. McDowell, who checked her memory with that of others, including Misses Mollie and Cora Womack . The Misses Womack furnished the above words from memory.
