Lyrics

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turn brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat don't pull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named rover

And if that dog named rover won't bark
Papa's gonna to buy you and horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down
Well you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
