PRETTY LITTLE GIRL
Who's been here since I'se been gone? A pretty liddle gal wid a blue dress on.
Who'll stay here when I goes 'way? A pretty liddle gal, all dressed in gray.
Who'll wait on Mistess day an' night? A pretty liddle gal, all dressed in white.
Who'll be here when I'se been dead? A pretty liddle gal, all dressed in red.
