Letra adaptada:
I´s a little Alabama Coon!, And I has´nt been born very long;
I ´member seein´ a great big round moon!
I ´member hearin´ one sweet song!...
When dey tote me down to de cotton field,
Dar I roll and I tumble in de sun!...
While my daddy pick de cotton, mammy watch me grow,
And dis am de song she sung!...
coro:
Go to sleep, my little picaninny
Brer´ Fox ´ll catch you if yo´ don´t;
Slumber on de bosom of yo´ ole Mammy Jinny,
Mammy´s gwine to swat yo´ if you won´t;
(baby cry)
sh! sh! sh! Lula, lula lula lula lu!
Underneaf de silver Southern moon;...
Rockaby! hushaby!, Mammy´s little baby,
Mammy´s little Alabama Coon!...
