When the trees are turned to golden<br>Then I know the day is near<br>That my waiting will be over<br>And I&#8217;ll get my wish most dear<br>For that little dusky maiden<br>She will be my happy bride<br>Like a bird within its nest<br>I&#8217;ll watch o&#8217;er her with care and pride<br>And when the pickaninny&#8217;s come<br>To play around the fire<br>At twilight then she&#8217;ll rock them fast asleep<br>Crooning some old-fashioned lullaby<br>As though she&#8217;d never tire<br>In the stillness then I whisper<br>As close to her side I&#8217;ll creep<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sung here by Fred Feild:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2m7WodhVseI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[WARNING: This song contains antiquated racial stereotypes.
