Title:     I'll Eat When I'm Hungry
Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

I'll eat when I'se hongry,
An' I'll drink when I'se dry;
An' if de whitefolks don't kill me,
I'll live till I die.

In my liddle log cabin,
Ever since I'se been born;
Dere hain't been no nothin'
'Cept dat hard salt parch corn.

But I knows whar's a henhouse,
An' de tucky he charve;
An' if ole Mosser don't kill me,
I cain't never starve.

[The end]
Thomas W. Talley's poem: I'll Eat When I'm Hungry
