lyrics

Little black boy
He ain’t got no father
To bolster him up
To bring him up
He ain’t got no father

His mama worked
In the master’s house
Feeding white babes
While her own child
Drank dirty water

I’m waiting for her to come
To care for me
But she’s tending white chillum

She rocked to sleep
Them white babes
Singin’ ‘bout Old Brer Rabbit
And he’s sleeping
In the dark

And when she died
For having worked
Worked too hard
He fled the big house
On a winter night

I ran to the West
I escaped the ol’black snake
I ran to the West
I ended up in the trail
I ran to the West
I ended up in the trail
