[Chorus]
Well, my baby, she's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy way yonder far
Just like her daddy way yonder far

I'm gonna tell my Jesus about my little black star
Gonna tell my Jesus just where she are
Gonna tell my Jesus all about my star

[Bridge]
Way down in the swamp, the mean old alligators fight
They fight all day and they fight all night
They fight all day and they fight all night

[Chorus]
Well, my baby, she's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy way yonder far
She's just like her daddy way yonder far

I'm gonna tell my Jesus about my little black star
I'm gonna tell my Jesus just where she are
Gonna tell my Jesus all about my star

[Bridge]
Way down in the swamp, the mean old alligators fight
They fight all day and they fight all night
They fight all day and they fight all night
[Outro]
Well, my baby, she's like a little black star
She's just like her daddy way yonder far
