Work rating: Low

(Lullaby)

Shet yo` eyes, ma little pickaninny, go to sleep
Mammy`s watchin` by you all de w`ile;
Daddy is a-wukin` down in de cott`n fiel`,
Wukin` fu` his little honey child.
An` yo` mammy`s heart is jes a-brimmin` full o` lub
Fu` you f`om yo` head down to yo` feet;
Oh, no mattah w`at some othah folks may t`ink o` you,
To yo` mammy`s heart you`s mighty sweet.

You`s sweet to yo` mammy jes de same;
Dat`s why she calls you Honey fu` yo` name.
Yo` face is black, dat`s true,
An` yo` hair is woolly, too,
But, you`s sweet to yo` mammy jes de same.

Up der in de big house w`ere dey lib so rich an` gran`
Dey`s got chillen dat dey lubs, I s`pose;
Chillen dat is purty, oh, but dey can`t lub dem mo`
Dan yo` mammy lubs you, heaben knows!
 
Dey may t`ink you`s homely, an` yo` clo`es dey may be po`,
But yo` shinin` eyes, dey hol`s a light
Dat, my Honey, w`en you opens dem so big an` roun`,
Makes you lubly in yo` mammy`s sight.
