G       D    C         G   (G D C G)
I don't care what they say
G         D       C  G   (G D C G)
I'm gonna keep it anyway
G       D        C             G     (G D C G)
I won't let them stretch their necks
G                      D
To see my little black egg
         C            G      (G D C G)
With the little white specks

Em         D
I found it in a tree
Em             D
Just the other day
Em           D
And now it's mine all mine
E                   D
They won't take it away

G          D     C          G  (G D C G)
Here comes Mary, here comes Lee
G        D         C       G   (G D C G)
I'll bet what they want to see
G       D        C             G     (G D C G)
I won't let them stretch their necks
G                      D
To see my little black egg
         C            G      (G D C G)

The little black egg's gonna tell on you
G       D        C             G    (G D C G)
I won't let them stretch their necks
G                      D
