_____________ OL' FRIEN'S AM BES'. _____________
Doan' want fo' to sing dem songs dat's new, I kain't, mah honey, I kain't! Fo' de words am strange an' de chunes ain't true, Ain't true, no, honey, dey ain't. So I sings yo' to sleep wif de same ol' song Dat I sung long time ergo, An' er Sandman comin' right erlong, right erlong When I sing erbout Ol' Black Joe:
"Gone am de days when mah heart was light an' gay; Gone am de frien's from de cotton fiel's erway; Gone one an' all to a better lan' I know-- I hear dem angel voices callin' ol' black Joe!"
Doan' like fo' to sing dem songs dat's new, Dey's trash, yes, honey, dess trash! Dey's full of bad mokes an' gals named Lou, An' yo' hear dem razzer blades clash. So I sings yo' to sleep wif a good ol' chune, An' yo' noddin' yo' cu'ly li'l head, Kase we has no use fo' a sassy young coon When we recollec' Ol' Uncle Ned:
"Den its hang up de fiddle an' de bow--oh-- oh! Lay down de shovel an' de hoe; Fo' dah's no mo' work fo' po' Uncle Ned Kase he's gone wag de good dahkies go!"
Doan' want fo' to sing dem songs dat's new, Dey's low-down, honey, an' cheap; Dey make yo' blush an' dey scare yo', too, Den yo' never gwiner git to sleep. De Sandman hates dem---tol' me so Las' time dat he came eroun'; Ol' frien's am bes;---den hesh a bye low Kase Massa's in de col', col' groun':
"Down in de co'nfiel' hear dat mo'nful soun'! All de dahkies am a-weepin'-- Massa's in de col', col' groun'!"

was Onequi's legal wife. Soon afterward, however, she disappeared, having been bought off, it is supposed, by some part of the $17,000 which came to Sir Henry with his Chicago bride. Mrs. Shakespeare's visits to the palmist became frequent. She gave up her apartment at the Sloane, and took a house on West Thirty-fourth street. There "Sir" Henry became her visitor. It was not until then that news reached Mr. Shakespeare that Onequi, pressed by judgmentsfor large claims, had fled from New York, and that Mrs. Shakespeare had gone with him.
