Sich a li'l feller, en he settin' up so wise! Say he like his daddy, but he got his mammy's eyes; Angel tuck en drap him fum a winder in de skies-- By-bye, honey, twell de mawnin'. Sich a li'l feller, in de cunnin'es' er cloze! Say he love his daddy, but his mammy's what he knows! Foun' him in de springtime, en dey tuck him fer a rose-- By-bye, honey, twell de mawnin'. Sich a li'l feller, en he talkin' like a man! By-bye, by-bye, kiss yo' li'l han'; Lots er li'l chillun in de sleepy lan'-- By-bye, honey, twell de mawnin'. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOCKING-BIRD by FRANK LEBBY STANTON A LITTLE WAY by FRANK LEBBY STANTON A NECKLACE by FRANK LEBBY STANTON A PLANTATION DITTY by FRANK LEBBY STANTON HIS MOTHER'S KISS by FRANK LEBBY STANTON HIS MOTHER'S WAY by FRANK LEBBY STANTON HOW TO EAT WATERMELONS by FRANK LEBBY STANTON MOTHERHOOD by FRANK LEBBY STANTON OLD GLORY ALOFT by FRANK LEBBY STANTON ONE COUNTRY by FRANK LEBBY STANTON |
