[My] Pretty Quadroon

O who was as happy as I? She'd a brow like the blossoming pea. And the rings of her dark glossy hair was shown on a darky like me.

Her face was exceedingly fair. She'd a cheek like the wild rose of June And the rings of her dark glossy hair was the pride of my pretty quadroon.

My pretty quadroon, my flower faded so soon
My heart like the strings of my banjo was broke for my pretty Quadroon.
