Sit still, now, chil’,
While I untangle this mess -
You ain’t goin’ swimmin’
‘til it’s all in braids,
The mo’ naps you got,
The mo’ hair you lose,
I’m ti’ed of strugglin’
With this pick
And flat comb,
—
‘cause yo hair is too thick,
I’m at the enda mah wick,
And, mah grays are doin’
Anything -
But, fadin’.
