The Little Black Egg - The Primitives

This is a cover version of the song originally sang by The Nightcrawlers. The pace and flow of the song stays pretty much true to the original.

This cover first appeared on their Galore album.

Note: If there is a song by The Primitives that you would like me to upload, please just leave me a comment with the song you'd like.


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

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

Here comes Nancy here comes Lee
I've got what they want to see
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg
With the little white specks

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

Oh darling what can I do?
That 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

My little black egg (repeat)

One of the best power pop acts of the 1980's, they show their garage influences on their sleeves here.

@manluvsthe60s Paradox Systems Theory. It's a long story.

@garthfromseattle wow.... always loved this song but never knew the meaning of this at all...Where did you find this out? I am spiritual but not really religious. Thanks for the info

Good cover of song that lots of bands really screwup.

@JustinSepheren Once you know the secrets, you cannot UN-know them.

@garthfromseattle With much knowledge comes much sorrow.

how about empathise, see thru the dark, kiss mine, smile, never tell and all the way down (both versions),

Love The Primitives, but this song belongs to The Night Crawlers. Can't beat their sound.

@garthfromseattle Wow, makes sense now. How did you find all this out? Did you hear or see an interview with whoever wrote it?
