Paul Robeson - Ma Curly-Headed Baby lyrics

rate me

Oh, my baby, my curly-headed baby,

We'll sit below da sky and sing a song

To the moo- oo-oo oo-oon.

Oh, my baby, my little darkie baby,

Your daddy's in da cotton field,

Workin' for the fo- oo-oo oo-od.

So, la-la la-la la-la lullaby-by.

Does ya want da moon to play wid?

All da stars to run away wid?

They'll come if you you don't cry.

So, la-la la-la la-la lullaby-by.

In da mammy's arms be creepin',

An' soon you'll be a-sleepin'.

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 si- ii-ii ii-ing.

Oh, my baby, my little darkie baby,

Jus' tuck your head like little bird,

Below its mammy's wi- ii-ii ii-ing.

So, la-la la-la la-la lullaby-by.

Does ya want da moon to play wid?

All da stars to run away wid?

They'll come if you you don't cry.

So, la-la la-la la-la lullaby-by.

In da mammy's arms be creepin',

An' soon you'll be a-sleepin'.

Laa-laa la-la la-la la-la lullaby.
