lyrics

Oh my baby is like a little black star
He's just like his daddy way yonder far
He's just like his daddy way yonder far

Gwan tell my Jesus about my little black star
Gwan tell my Jesus just where he are
Gwan tell my Jesus all about my star

Down in that swamp those mean ol' alligators fight
They fight all day, they fight all night
Gwan tell my Jesus how those 'gators fight

Now don't you worry, my little honey black star
No 'gator gwan get you here where you are
No 'gator gwan get my little black star

When I gets to heaven tell Jesus all about my star
'Cause he's like his daddy way yonder far
He's just like his daddy way yonder far

Oh my baby is like a little black star
He's just like his daddy way yonder far
He's just like his daddy way yonder far
