Hush-A-Bye Hard Times lyrics

Song information

Artist: Dolly Parton
Album: Nine To Five And Odd Jobs

Lyrics

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more

Oh hush-a-bye hard times go ye away
Cause my hungry baby wants a gingerbread cake
Not a cow in the barnyard no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft no little red hen

So hush-a-bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry cold hungry stare
He keeps howling of hard times and the cupboard it bare

Oh hush-a-bye hard times go ye to rest
Cause my ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes with buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows for her golden hair

So hush-a-bye baby don't cry no more..
Hush-a-bye baby don't cry no more..
