Well, my baby
She's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy
Way yonder far
Just like her daddy
Way yonder far
I'm gonna tell me Jesus
About my little black star
Gonna tell my Jesus
Just where she are
Gonna tell my Jesus
All about my star

Way down in the swamp
The mean old alligators fight
They fight all day
And they fight all night
They fight all day
And they fight all night

Well, my baby
She's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy
Way yonder far
She's just like her daddy
Way yonder far
I'm gonna tell my Jesus
About my little black star
I'm gonna tell my Jesus
Just where she are
Gonna tell my Jesus
All about my star

Way down in the swamp
The mean old alligators fight
They fight all day
And they fight all night
They fight all day
And they fight all night

Well, my baby
She's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy
Way yonder far
