Sleep, Sleep, Little Black One

Sleep, sleep, little black one,
Your mama is in the field,
Little black one.
Sleep, sleep, little black one,
Your mama is in the field,
Little black one.
She will bring quails for you,
She will bring many things for you,
She will bring pork for you,
She will bring many things for you.
And if the black one doesn't sleep,
The white devil comes
And bam!
He eats his little foot.

Sleep, sleep, little black one,
Your mama is in the field,
Little black one.
Working, working hard,
Working yes,
Working and not getting paid,
Working yes,
Working and coughing,
Working yes,
Working and in mourning,
Working yes,
For the little black one,
Working yes,
Not getting paid yes,
Hard yes,
Coughing yes,
In mourning yes.

Sleep, sleep, little black one,
Your mama is in the field,
Little black one.
