Oh, white folks, listen unto me,

Oh, Billy Pattison,
The subject of my story I'll tell unto thee,

Don't tell me, don't tell me,
The name of my story I'll tell unto thee,

Is oh, Billy P'at'tison,
The name of my song I'll tell unto thee,

Don't tell me, don't tell me.

Billy Pattison, goodbye,

I think your horse will die,

If he don't I'll ride again,

If he does I'll tan his skin,

I'll lay ten dollars down,

And leave it in my will,

show me the man in this yer town.

That struck my brother Bill.

I had a brother his name was Dick,

Oh. Billy Pattison,
Somebody hit him on the head with a brick,

Don't tell me, don't tell me,
Oh, what did he say when he came to ?

Oh, Billy Pattison.
I say, darkies, dis won't do,

Don't tell me, don't tell me.

Billy Pattison, &c.

If ever you go to Fiddler's Green,

Oh, Billy Pattison,
A lame old nigger is there to be seen,                     

Don't tell me, don't tell me,                           ;

In his right hand be holds a will,

Oh, Billy Pattison,
And this is the man that struck old Bill,

Don't tell me, don't tell me.

Billy Pattison, &c.
