1471. Kentucky Babe
By Richard Henry Buck
SKEETERS am a humminҒ on de honeysuckle vine,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Sandman am a cominג to dis little coon of mine,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Silvגry moon am shinin in de heabens up above, 5
Bobolink am pininҒ fo his little lady love:
YoҒ is mighty lucky,
Babe of old Kentucky,
Close yoג eyes in sleep.
Fly away, 10
Fly away, Kentucky Babe, fly away to rest,
Fly away,
Lay yo kinky, woolly head on yoҒ mammys breast,җ
Umumח,
Close yo eyes in sleep. 15
Daddy Ғs in de cane-brake wid his little dog and gun,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
גPossum fo yoҒ breakfast when yo sleepinҒ time is done,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Bogie man גll catch yo sure unless yoҒ close yo eyes, 20
WaitinҒ jes outside de doo to take yoҒ by surprise:
Bes be keepinҒ shady,
Little colored lady,
Close yoג eyes in sleep.
