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 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 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.

And if that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Cart
