letra de the courtship - stephen flaherty
mother (spoken):
yes?
coalhouse (spoken):
i’m looking for a woman of color whose name is sarah. she is said to reside in one of these houses
little boy (spoken):
she’s here. she’s living in our attic
coalhouse (spoken):
will you tell her, please, that mr. coalhouse walker jr. desires to speak with her?
mother (spoken):
certainly. please wait here
little boy (spoken):
this is sarah’s baby. you want a cookie?
mother (spoken):
sarah, you have a caller. a mr. walker. will you come down to the kitchen?
sarah (spoken):
no, ma’am. send him away, please
mother (spoken):
well, that’s the most words you’ve spoken since you’ve been here
mother (spoken):
sarah is unable to see you. good day
coalhouse (spoken):
thank you, ma’am. tell her i’ll come back next sunday
grandfather (spoken):
such was the coming of the colored man in the car to broadview avenue
all:
each sunday, he’d come driving
curtains would part
neighbors would peek
mother (spoken):
i’m sorry, mr. walker. sarah still will not receive you
coalhouse (spoken):
will you see that she gets these flowers, ma’am?
all:
week after week
and after weeks of sundays
mother:
sending him off seemed a crime
mother (spoken):
mr. walker, it must be a long drive for you. perhaps you would like a cup of tea before you go?
coalhouse (spoken):
this piano is badly in need of a tuning
mother (spoken):
oh yes. we are terrible about that
grandfather (spoken):
do you know any coon songs?
coalhouse (spoken):
coon songs are made for minstrel shows. white men sing them in blackface. this is called ragtime
