Quoted By:
Ten numberniggers standin' in a line,
One toddled home and then there were nine;
Nine numberniggers swingin' on a gate,
One tumbled off and then there were eight.
Eight numberniggers gayest under heav'n.
One went to sleep and then there were seven;
Seven numberniggers cuttin' up their tricks,
One broke his neck and then there were six.
Six numberniggers all alive,
One kicked the bucket and then there were five;
Five numberniggers on a cellar door,
One tumbled in and then there were four.
Four numberniggers up on a spree,
One got fuddled and then there were three;
Three numberniggers out on a canoe,
One tumbled overboard and then there were two
Two numberniggers foolin' with a gun,
One shot t'other and then there was one;
One numbernigger livin' all alone,
He got married and then there were none.
