Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Feb 2001.

Oh, ma babby, ma curley~headed babby,
we'll sit below de sky,
an' sing a song to de moon.

Oh, ma babby, ma little nigger babby,
yo' Daddy's in de cotton~field,
a~workin' for de coon.

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
does yer want de Moon ter play wid?

or de Stars ter run away wid?
Dey'll come if you don't cry;

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
in de Mammy's arms be creepin',

an' soon yer'll be a~sleepin', lulla,
lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby.

Oh, ma babby, ma curley~headed babby,
I'll dance yer fast to sleep an' lub yer so as I sing.

Oh, ma babby, ma little nigger babby,
jus' tuck yer head like little bird,
below its Mammy's wing.

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
does yer want de Moon ter play wid?

Or de Stars to run away wid?
Dey'll come if yer don't cry;

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
in de Mammy's arms be creepin',

an' soon yer'll be a~sleepin', lulla,
lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby.

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
does yer want de Moon ter play wid?

Or de Stars to run away wid?
Dey'll come if yer don't cry;

So lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, by by,
in de Mammy's arms be creepin',

an' soon yer'll be a~sleepin', lulla,
lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby.
