Hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
ย
If that diamond ring turns brass
Papa gonna buy you a looking glass
ย
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
ย
If that billy goat won't pull
ย
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
ย
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
ย
When he's there sleepin' in his little place
Think I see the angels lookin' through the lace
When dark is fallin' and the shadows creep
Then they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleep
ย
Sweetest little fellow
ย
Everybody knows
And don't know what to call him
But he's mighty like a rose
Lookin' at his mommy
With eyes so shiny blue
'Til it seems like heaven
Is comin' close to you
So, hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
ย
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Hush little baby
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
