When ole Mamy's slipper, began to do its work, The night air was filled with sounds of woe, For how could the little pickaninny sing, While the slipper was a-swingin to an fro, The gate now looks so very bare and lonely, With no wee lovers there to swing, And the moon shies behind a cloud to hide a smile When it hears the little black boy sing. Chorus You be my watermelon honey, I'll be your little black boy, I'll love you more dan all ma money, You'll be dis little nigger's joy! When we get big we will be married, And nothing can our happiness destroy, If you'll be my watermelon honey, an' I'll be your lil' black boy."}],"description":"Little black
