Ma Curly Headed Boy Songtext
von Paul Robeson

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
