Such a simplistic and beautiful song. I wonder if Nina sang songs that originated with the slaves. I imagine many slave mothers sang lullabies to their babies to bring them as much comfort as possible. It's sad, though, the line about daddy's and mamas protecting their babies when so many "brown babies" are raised by single, young mothers. Thankfully, that sad trend seems to be changing. I hope so anyway.
