Ma Curly-Headed Baby

Oh, my baby, my curly-headed baby
We'll sit below the sky and sing a song to the moon
Oh, my baby, my little darkie, baby
Your daddy's in the cotton field
Workin' for the food

So, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby-by
Does you want the moon to play with?
All the stars to run away with?
They'll come if you don't cry
So, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby-by

In the Mammy's arms be creepin'
And soon you'll be asleepin'
Laa-laa, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby

Oh, my baby, my curly-headed baby
I'll dance you fast asleep and love you so as I sing
Oh, my baby, my little darkie baby
Just tuck your head like little bird
Below it's Mammy's wing

So, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby-by
Does you want the moon to play with?
All the stars to run away with?
They'll come if you don't cry

So, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby-by
In the Mammy's arms be creepin'
And soon you'll be asleepin'
Laa-laa, la-la, la-la, la-la, lullaby
