Title: Mammy's Little Coal Black RoseLyrics: Raymond EganI heard a pickaninny crying Down in Tennessee one night;His little heart was nearly breaking Just because he wasn't white;Then his dear old Mammy kiss'd him And she said "Chile don' you sighWeep no more, my baby,"Then she sang a Dixie Lullaby:And then I saw that dear old MammyKiss those baby tears awayWhile in her arms the baby nestledHappy as a child at play;Then she whispered "Mammy loves you,You're as sweet as 'possum pie,Go to sleep, my honey, While your mammy sings a lullaby"ChorusYou better dry your eyes, my little Coal Black Rose (and don't you cry) You better go to sleep and let those eyelids cloes (just hush a-by)'Cause you're dark, don't start apinin'Your're a cloud with a silver lining;Tho' ev'ry old crow thinks his babe am white as snow,Your dear old Mammy knows you're mighty like a rose;And when the angels gave those kinky curls to you (so curly que)They put a sunbeam in your disposition too, that's true,The reason you're so black I 'sposeThey forgot to give your Mammy a talcum powder chamois,So don't you cry, don't you sigh,'Cause you're mammy's little Coal Black Rose.
