Item description
KENTUCKY BABE.
Music by ADAM GEIBEL
Words by RICHARD HENRY BUCK.
Original Publication and Copyright 1896 by White-Smith Music Pub. Co.
[Verse 1.] 'Skeeters am a hummin' on de honey suckle vine,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Sandman am a comin' to dis little coon of mine,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Silv'ry moon am shinin' in de heabens up above,
Bobolink am pinin' fo' his little lady love,
You is mighty lucky, Babe of old Kentucky,
[Chorus]
Fly away, fly away Kentucky Babe,
fly away to rest, Fly away,
Lay yo' kinky woolly head on yo' mammy's breast,
Um Um close yo' eyes in sleep.
[Verse 2.] Daddy's in the canebrake wid his little dog and gun,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Possom fo' yo' breakfast when yo' sleepin' time is done,
Sleep, Kentucky Babe!
Bogie man 'll ketch yo' sure unless yo' close yo eyes,
Waitin' jes' outside de doo' to take yo' by surprise,
Bes' be keepin' shady, Little colored lady,
Close yo' eyes in sleep.
Close yo' eyes in sleep.
