GUEST,Elaine Lyr Req: Lunatic's Lullaby 'Oh, I was born one...' (141* d) RE: Lyr Req: Lunatic's Lullaby 'Oh, I was born one...' 28 Jul 08


My daughter (30 yrs old) just asked me to send her the lyrics to what we always called "I was born". She was singing it to her 4 month old and couldn't remember all of the words. I never knew the very last ve rse and thought that now is the time to try and find the last few lines. - Well - I googled "is old black joe an eskimo" and couldn't believe all the information I got. I have been singing this song since the early 60's, don't even remember where I first heard it - camp maybe - Until now I've never been able to find anyone who ever heard of it - they all just thought I dreamt it up - of course I knew I didn't. So now I can pass it along to my granddaughter with the last verse included thanks to all of you!!
