When de night time come,
de li'l boy holler
Kase he 'fraid o' de dark,
an' he scrooch up nigh
to his good ole mammy,
an' he wouldn't take a dollar
fo' his place, fo' his place
when de Sandman's a stoopin'
frum de sky.
Oh de wind say "Woo"
an de owl say "To who"
an he scrooches up to mammy
an he scrooches up to mammy
when de blaze, when de blaze burns blue.

Oh, de stumps look tall
an' de wind soun's skeery
an de li'l boy sniggle down in my lap,
kase de bogie man's a nigh
an' his eyes am bleary,
an he's strong as a lion
an' bigger 'n yo' pap.
Oh de wind say "Woo"
an' de owl say "To who"
an' he scrooches up to mammy,
an' he scrooches up to mammy
when de blaze,
when de blaze burns blue.
Oo, oo, oo!
