I Didn't Like Him

Perhaps you may a-noticed I been soht o' solemn lately,         Haven't been a-lookin' quite so pleasant.     Mabbe I have been a little bit too proud and stately;         Dat's because I'se lonesome jes' at present.     I an' him agreed to quit a week or so ago,         Fo' now dat I am in de social swim     I'se 'rived to de opinion dat he ain't my style o' beau,         So I tole him dat my watch was fas' fo' him.                          refrain                  Oh, I didn't like his clo'es,                      An' I didn't like his eyes,                  Nor his walk, nor his talk,                      Nor his ready-made neckties.                  I didn't like his name a bit,                      Jes' 'spise the name o' Jim;                  If dem ere reasons ain't enough,                      I didn't like Him.     Dimon' ring he give to me, an' said it was a fine stone.         Guess it's only alum mixed wif camphor.     Took it roun' to Eisenstein; he said it was a rhinestone,         Kind, he said, he didn't give a dam fur.     Sealskin sack he give to me it got me in a row.         P'liceman called an' asked to see dat sack;     Said another lady lost it. Course I don't know how;         But I had to go to jail or give it back.                          refrain                  Oh, I didn't like his trade;                      Trade dat kep' him out all night.                  He'd de look ob a crook,                      An' he owned a bull's-eye light.                  So when policemen come to ask                      What I know 'bout dat Jim,                  I come to de confusion dat                      I didn't like Him.
