Verse
Little pickaninny, stars are in the sky
Time that you were in your bed.
Go to sleep while mammy, croons a lullaby
To her little curly head.
Chorus
Little Joe, Little Joe
Though your color isn’t white,
you’re mighty like a rose to me.
Little Joe, Litle Joe
Though your eyes are black as coal,
your little soul is white as snow to me.
Kinky-headed baby,
I will always love you til the judgement day.
Even though the white folks may think nothing of you,
and they always chase you away.
Little Joe, Little Joe
You’re my little pride and joy,
your mammy’s little colored sonny boy.
compositores: Julius Kerwin Stein
