VERSE 01: Little pickaninny, on his mammy’s knee,/Twilight shadows falling low;/Pappy tunes the banjo,/To a minor key,/While she rocks him to and fro;/Daddy picks the banjo strings;/Mammy softly to him sings: CHORUS: “Byelo,/Your eyes are closin’, hon’/Byelo, you’ll soon be dozin’, hon;/Oh! My little stick of ebony, your mammy’s by your side;/Byelo, you’re tired of playin’, hon’,/Byelo, your head is swayin’, hon;/Time to take the train to slumberland;/The sandman’s comin’,/Your daddy’s strummin’,/Your mammy’s hummin’,/Goodbyelo,/My baby’s going to sleep. VERSE 02: Little pickaninny, hears his mammy sing,/Smilin’ in her arms, he lays;/Sweet will be the mem’ries,/Future years will bring,/Of those happy childhood days;/Maybe he’ll recall this tune;/That his mammy used to croon: | |
