"Hush, Little Baby"
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. |
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. |
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town. |
