This was a regional hit for the Nightcrawlers in a zillion different cities
from roughly 10/65 through 4/67, but never hit in enough areas simultaneously
to squeak any higher than #85 in Billboard. No, I don't know what it's about,
either. --AWR

Verse 1: [12-string plays intro riff throughout]
A E D A (A) E D A
I don't care what they say
A E D A (A) E D A
I'm gonna keep it anyway
A E D A (A) E D A
I won't let them stretch their necks
A E D A (A) E D A
To see my little black egg with the little white specks
Chorus:
F#m E [slide up to F#m throughout]
I found it in a tree
F#m E
Just the other day
F#m E
And now it's mine, all mine
F# E [yes, F# major here]
They won't take it away
[my Kapp single goes directly to next verse; the version on the
Rhino "Nuggets" comp repeats intro riff twice]
Verse 2:
Here comes Mary, here comes Lee
I'll bet what they want to see
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Oh, goldurn, what can I do?
The little black egg's gonna tell on you
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks
Coda:
A E D A
The little black egg... [repeat to fade]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
