Hurrah, hurrah, the day has come
For Dinah to get married.
Glad are we that that's the fact,
For very long she tarried.
So bring along the hoecake,
The gumbo and the cream,
And don't forget the wedding cake
On which we darkies dream,
On which we dream,
On which we dream.
And don't forget the wedding cake
On which we darkies dream.
