My Lovely Susey Saul / composed by Charlie C. Converse
Charles C. (Charles Crozat) Converse (1832-1918)
Lyrics: First verse When I was young, not long ago In Maryland I did dwell; 'Twas there I lov'd a yellow girl Oh! was'nt she a belle; Her form was round, not very tall, And curly was her hair; The darkies said my Susy, was the fairest of the fair. Chorus Then if you see my Susy dear, Speak kindly to her all, Oh! tell her the last words that I spoke were, My poor Susy Saul. Second verse I took my love to a ball one night, 'Twas early in the fall, And 'fore three weeks had passd away, I married Susy Saul; In a cot we lived together, Down by the river side, How happy was this darky then, With my lovely yellow bride. (Chorus) Third Verse While working in the field one day, Near the tree that grows so tall, Old massa said he was going to sell, My lovely Susy Saul; In vain I pleaded for my wife, That we might never part, But cruelly he said: no, no! It almost broke my heart. (Chorus) Fourth Verse I've nothing left to live for now, My wife I'll see no more, For she will ne'er return again, To old Virginia shore; And when I'm dead and buried, Beneath the old stone wall, Upon a slab these words you'll see: He died for Susy Saul. (Chorus)

Uncle Tom's Lament for Eva / written and composed by I.B. Woodbury
I. B. (Isaac Baker) Woodbury (1819-1858)
Lyrics: First verse The sun arose in beauty, The birds caroled their song Sweet flowers sent forth their fragrance, And decked the verdant lawn. But sad my heart was breaking, No gleam of sunshine there, All, all was drear and darkling, No comfort, e'en in prayer. For 'twas the morn they laid you, Dear Eva, in thy grave, E'en now my heart is breaking, O God, in pity save. Thou knowest human weakness, Thou knowest human wo; O take me to those mansions, Where heavenly waters flow. Second verse There, 'mid seraphic beings, I'll meet my darling one, And join with her in singing Amid that heavenly throng. Forever and forever Our swelling songs shall rise; O take me to those mansions Far, far beyond the skies. Third verse Again the sun in beauty Arose in cloudless dawn; Again sweet flowers in fragrance Bloomed gaily o'er the lawn. But Uncle Tom ne'er heeds them, He's joined the angel throng, And strikes his harp immortal To Eva's heavenly song.
