Little Black Egg - Tarnation

I don’t care what they say

I’m gonna keep it anyway

I won’t let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks

I found it in a tree just the other day

Now it’s mine all mine, they can’t take it away

There comes Mary, there comes Lee:

I’ll bet what they want to see

I won’t let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks

I found it in a tree just the other day

Now it’s mine all mine, they can’t take it away

Oh father, what can I do? Little black agg’s gonna tell on you

I won’t let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks
