Augustus Jackson was a free black man
  F
A chef at the White House for the Madisons

He came to Philadelphia when they set him free
   G
He started making ice-cream on Goodwater Street

Calling out his flavours by name

To make ice-cream last for days and days

You can fill up a spoon at Jackson's ice-cream bar
