Sleep, Little Black One
Sleep, sleep, little black one
Your mama is in the field, little black one
Sleep, sleep, my little one
Your mama is in the field, my little one
She'll bring you quails, just for you
She'll bring you pork meat, just for you
She'll bring you delicious fruit, just for you
She'll bring you many things, for you
And if the black one doesn't fall asleep
The white devil comes
And bam, he eats his little foot
Chickaboom, chickaboom, boom, chickaboom
Sleep, sleep, little black girl
Your mama is in the field, little black girl
Sleep, sleep, my little one
Your mama is in the field, my little one
Working, working hard
Working yes, working and dressed in mourning
Working yes, working and not getting paid
Working yes, working and coughing
Working yes, for the little black one
For the little black one yes, for the little black one yes
Working yes...
She'll bring you quails, just for you
She'll bring you pork meat, just for you
She'll bring you delicious fruit, just for you
She'll bring you many things, for you
And if the black one doesn't fall asleep
The white devil comes
And bam, he eats his little foot
Chickaboom, chickaboom, boom, chickaboom
Sleep, sleep, little black girl
Sleep, sleep, little black girl
Your mama is in the field, little black girl
