voice Collected by Jim Bob Wheeler and James Leonard For M.C. Parler Transcribed by Linda Humphrey Sung by Mrs. Mary Faultz and Mrs. Phidela Hogan Fayetteville, Ark. July 16, 1960 Reel 378 Item 4 Little Old Nigger Baby Talk about your bad coons, I'se one of them myself, I carry a great big razor in A pocket on my vest; I carve de white man through the heart, And I carve dem through the hand, White folks says I'se the worst old nigger That ever traveled through the land. Chorus: I'se a little old Nigger Baby, Black face and shiny eyes, I'se just as good as the poor white trash In that sweet by and by; I'se black because I'se born dat away With de Indian-rubber feet; I'm shunned by all dem colored coons when I meet dem on the streetLittle Old Nigger Baby continued If you wanta go down to Market Street Where all dem darkies go, Well, if you choose to go dat away, Dem stones you'll have to throw; Slide down off all de housetops And down into de gutter, Ever little Nigger dat carried a razor Call himself a cutter. If you want an introduction, Come out with me tonight; I'll show you where a Negro And an Irishman had a fight; I'll show you where de Negro Shot Patrick by de rock, Now he's shunned by all dem colored coons When he meets dem on de block.
