Mammy

Mammy, mammy, mammy
Mammy, mammy mine
Why do dem white folks' chillun
Call me Snowball all the time
When you calls me your angel love
Daddy calls me turtledove
Mammy, mammy, 'tis a shame
Call Snowballin' my name
What's de mattah honey
Feelin' kind of blue
'Cause dem white folks' chillun
Run away from you
Don't you never mind dem
Mammy's little dove
Mammy loves you just as much
As any angel chile

Don't you worry 'bout dem, honey
Ev'rything will come out right
Mammy loves you, don't she, don't she
Even though you're black as night
Ain't that nuff to make you happy?
Dry your tears and try to smile

White folks may be white folks
But no white chile
Could be as sweet as mammy's angel chile

Don't you worry 'bout dem, honey
Ev'rything will come out right
Mammy loves you, don't she, don't she
Even though you're black as night
Ain't that nuff to make you happy?
Dry your tears and try to smile

White folks may be white folks
But no white chile
Could be as sweet as mammy's angel chile
