Verse One
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
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
Verse Two
Hush little baby mama's near,
To wipe your brow and calm your fears.
To kiss your cheek and hold your hand,
'Til you drift off to sleepyland.
To help you count those little white sheep,
And sing you songs 'til you're asleep.
To tell you tales of kings and queens,
And Jack and Jill and wonderful things.
So snuggle up and hug me tight,
And dream sweet dreams all through the night.
And every night when the sun goes down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
