So Mammy in her lap takes the little weeping chap And says in her kind old way Chorus: - Now honey you' stay in yo' own backyard Doan min' what dem white chiles do What show yo' suppose dey's a gwine to git A black little coon like yo So stay on dis side of de high boahed fence An honey doan cry so hard Go out an a-ply jes' as much as yo' please But stay in yo' own backyard |
