Panderina Soumas tells us....
The Hushabye lullaby was a slavery tradition throughout many southern
plantations. Sung by slave women tending to their "massas" children in
the big house. It protests their being forcibly separated from their own
children. "Pour little lamb" of the second verse makes a strong sweet
lullaby statement against a prevailing myth slaves were content with
their slave quarters and better off than they'd been in Africa. Many
slave songs and spirituals frequently had a dual and/or coded meaning.
