Little Black Egg

I don't care what they say

I'm gonna keep it anyway

I won't let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks

I found it in a tree

Just the other day

And now it's mine, all mine

They won't take it away

Here comes Mary, here comes Lee

I've got what they want to see

I won't let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks

I found it in a tree

Just the other day

And now it's mine, all mine

They won't take it away

Oh, my Lord, what can I do?

(Oh, my little black egg)

My little black egg's gonna tell on you

(Oh, my little black egg)

I won't let them stretch their necks

(Oh, my little black egg)

To see my little black egg with the little white specks

(Oh, my little black egg)

My little black egg, oh, oh

My little black egg
