Noble Sissle - Pickaninny Shoes Lyrics |
An African American musician and lyricist Noble Sissle - Pickaninny Shoes Lyrics
Southern scenes unfoldin’, A darky sat a-holdin’ His pickaninny shoes. From silent meditation He started conversation With pickaninny shoes. In these “Rock-a-by-O-Baby” ways, He talks of “Rock-a-by-O-Baby” days:
Pickaninny shoes, Pickaninny shoes. . . How well I remember when I was a lad. You were the only true pals that I had. When boys would chide me, You’d always guide me Safely back home A-yellin’ for dad.
Pickaninny shoes, You saved me a many a bruise, And though you musty and dusty And wrinkled and worn. . . Though you graceless and lace-less And tattered and torn. . . Yet if I had to choose, I’d rather a fortune to lose Than my pickaninny shoes.
