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.

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.
