  Transcription of Page 7

Time for little piccaninnies to go to sleep.
Piccaninny time to go to sleep.

        —————————

I will sing you a lullaby.

Lay your head
Upon my breast,
And I will sing until you rest.
Do you want the moon to play with,
Or stars to run away with?
They'll come if you don't cry.
Lula, Lula, Lula, Lula Bye Bye.
In your Mammie's arms you're creeping,
And soon you'll be a-sleeping,
Lulla, Lulla, Lula, Lulla-bye.

        —————————

Lullabye and Goodnight
Thy mother's delight.
Angels round thy bed
Will keep you from harm.
Lay thee down now and rest  *
May thy slumber be blest.
                    Repeat from *
