My curly‑headed baby
Language:
English
Oh, ma babby, ma curly-headed babby,
We'll sit below da sky and sing a song
To the moon.
Oh, ma babby, ma curly-headed babby,
Your daddy's in da cotton field,
A-workin' for da food.
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, ma babby, ma curly-headed babby,
I'll dance you fast asleep and love you so
As I sing.
Oh, ma babby, ma curly-headed babby,
Jus' tuck your head like little bird,
Beneath its mammy's wing.
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.

Negerwiegenlied
Language:
German
O, mein Liebchen,
Mein schwarzgelocktes Bübchen,
Nun singen wir ein Liedchen fein
Und schläfern dich ein.
O, mein Liebchen,
Mein kleines Negerbübchen,
Dein Vater schafft im Baumwollfeld
Und plagt sich für den Herrn.
Refrain:
So lul-la-la und lul-la-la und lei-la,
Mit dem Mond, sag', willst du fliegen,
Mit den Sternen dich vergnügen?
Ich ruf' sie dir herbei.
So lul-la-la und lul-la-la und lei-la,
Komm in Mamas weiche Arme
Und schlaf' ohn' Leid und Harme,
So mit lul-la-la und lul-la-la und lei.
O, mein Liebchen,
Mein schwarzgelocktes Bübchen,
Mein Lied sagt dir, wie lieb du mir,
Lass wiegen dich ein.
O, mein Liebchen,
Mein kleines Negerbübchen,
Nun duck' dich, wie im Mutterflaum
Sich birgt das Vögelein.
Refrain:
So lul-la-la und lul-la-la und lei-la etc.
