Burl Ives - Hush Little Baby

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 your 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

Hear oh hear the night bird call
Soon oh soon the dark will fall

If your billy goat don'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 your dog named Rover don't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest little baby in town

Hear oh hear the night bird call
Soon oh soon the dark will fall
