Lyrics:

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
They can't take it away

Here comes Mary, here comes Lee
I got 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, father, what can I do?
Well, the little black egg's gonna tell on you
And I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks
To see my little black egg
To see my little black egg
To see my little black egg

To see my little black egg
To see my little black egg
To see my little black egg
