About

Coalhouse arrives at the house in New Rochelle looking for Sarah, but she refuses to see him. He returns every Sunday but is spurned time and time again, until Mother takes pity on him and invites him in for tea.

The Courtship Lyrics

[MOTHER, spoken]
Yes?

[COALHOUSE, spoken]
I'm looking for a young woman of color whose name is Sarah. She's 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 there. Edgar?

[LITTLE BOY, spoken]
This is Sarah's baby. You want a cookie?

[MOTHER, spoken]
Sarah, you have a caller. A Mr. Walker. Won't 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.

[COALHOUSE]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh

[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.

[ENSEMBLE]
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?

[ENSEMBLE]
Week after week
And after weeks of Sundays

[MOTHER]
Sending him off seemed a crime

(spoken)
Mr. Walker, it must be a long drive for you. Perhaps you would like a cup of tea before you go?

[COALHOUSE plays the piano.]

[COALHOUSE, spoken]
Hmm, 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.
