Black Maria

Must be the black Maria

That I see,

The black Maria that I see-

But I hope it

Ain't comin' for me.

Hear that music playin' upstairs?

Aw, my heart is

Full of cares-

But that music playin' upstairs

Is for me.

Babe, did you ever

See de sun

Rise at dawnin' full of fun,

Says did you ever see de sun rise

Full of fun, full of fun?

Then you know a

New day has begun.

Black Maria passin' by

Leaves de sunrise in de sky-

And a new day,

Yes, a new day

Done begun!
