Mrs. Ferguson made a point of my emphasizing the difference in tone and emphasis as the “hooees” are repeated. This was a way of using my vocal exercises, showing my vocal range. Up to this point, except for the insult implied by the imposition of uneducated dialect by a person of a different culture and a different diction—there’s not so much to object to. But the objectionable enters quite soon.

Nigger, you must travel back

To help poor sinners

Up de glory track

To help poor mourners

And de scoffing coons

By shoutin loud

Halleluiah tunes
