Many years ago 60 odd in fact my mother used to sing a lullubye to me. I've spent many years trying to find a copy of the song and more recently have searched for anyone who can even remember its existance. Tonight I found a brief mention of the lyrics in another forum thread but it disappeared; leaving only a few lyrics which differed from the lyrics etched into my memory. My plea now is that some one will know the correct lyrics and perhaps the name of the song; beyond all dreams would be that some one could tell me where I might get a copy of the song on record, tape, or CD. The lyrics in part as I remember them, area as follows:-

Curly headed piccaninny
Coming home so late
Crying cos' his little heart did ache
All the children round about
With skin so white as snow
None of them
With him would ever play
So mammy sat and rocked
As she'd sat and rocked before
And said in her old kind way
Now honey don't you cry so hard
And honey don't you cry no more
Go out and play as much as you like
But stay in your own back yard
What do you suppose a white child would do
With a black little coon like you.

My fingers are crossed many thanks
