Poor Howard lyrics

Ol' Howard, po' boy

Ol' Howard he is dead an' gone

left me here to sing this song

left me here to sob and mourn (or moan)

Pretty little girl with a red dress on (4x)

God knows, pretty little girl with a red dress on

Ol' Howard is a po' white(?). He goes all around over the plantations. Plays for the sukey jumps. He is the first man to start the sukey jump playin' in the world, and he would go all around, while po' Howard is dead and gone, everybody sings this song about him.

Ol' Howard is dead an' gone

left me here to sing and mourn

Ol' Howard Po' boy

Ol' Howard, he was a po' boy

Ol' Howard, he was a po' boy,
