Jumping the Broom Ceremony Reading

This song was found in the sheet music of “At an Ole Virginia Wedding” and is dated Sept. 9, 1900
Dark an’ stormy may come de wedder
I jines dis he-male an’ dis she’male togedder.
Let none, but Him dat makes de thunder,
Put dis he-male and dis she-male asunder.
I darefor ‘nounce you bofe de same.
Be good, go ‘long, an’ keep up yo’ name.
De broomstick’s jumped, de world not wide.
She’s now yo’ own. Salute yo’ bride!
