letra de the pickaninny's paradise - emmett miller
[verse 1]
now, what’s the matter honey there’s a tear in your eye?
do white folks say you don’t know where you go when you die?
come to your mammy dear, and listen here
i will tell where those colored children go when they leave here
now, there’s a happy land above the sky so blue
and listen what’s been there for you
[chorus]
come lay your black kinky head in a bed on a pillow of white
and sleep tonight
all while the angels will watch over you ev’ry night
the griddle cakes pop from the ground
with sweet mol-sses all around
old uncle joe is playing tunes upon that ever old banjo
the streets are all paved with gold i am told
ev’ry bird in the skies has diamond eyes
now ain’t that nice
ev’ry little kinky headed girl and boy
has the cutest silver pony just for a toy
in the place they call that pickaninnies paradise
[instrumental break]
[chorus]

ev’ry bird in the skies has diamond eyes
