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
And now it's mine all mine
You won't take it away
Here comes Mary, here 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
And now it's mine all mine
They won't take it away
Oh gol-durn, what can I do?
The little black egg's gonna tell on you
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg
With the little white specks
My little black egg
My little black egg
My little black egg...
