I'm Looking for a New Home Now. Copyright, 1898, by Philip Kussel. Words by Frank Coulter. Music by Jake C. Schaefer. 
There's a coon that's been a-hanging 'Round the house 'most night and day, He told me on the quiet That his pork-chops ran away; It wasn't for the gal so much, But now he's lost his home; And the nights would soon be getting cold And he hates to sleep alone; said he, she shared my pork-chops And I give her every cent; I just bought a bran'-new folding-bed And I paid a whole month's rent; The coon that she's done gone with He was handsome, I'll allow; There seems no chance on earth for me, So I'm looking for a new home. 
Chorus. Now I'm sorry that I fell out with my baby; I know this blow will almost set me crazy; I thought that she was too much of a lady To do a cruel act like that to me; I hope the Lord would fix things with my honey; I'd treat her nice and give her all my money; If I could catch that coon,-you know He wouldn't stand a ghost of show, I'm sorry that I fell out with my babe. 
Now, boys, I tried to please her, I did everything I could: She used to say she'd shake me, But I didn't think she would; She even got arrested, And I got her out of Jail; I didn't have the money myself, But my friends they went her ball; She always swore she loved me. And I'm sorry that she's gone; I wouldn't take it so to heart. But they sing me this sad song: Your baby love's done gwine from you With a coon as black as sin; There's only one thing left for me. To let another gal step in.-Cho.
