Hush, Little Baby

(album: A Father's Lullaby - 2013)

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird won't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

Hush, little buddy, don't make a noise
Daddy's gonna buy you some brand new toys
If you're sweet with some good luck
Daddy's gonna buy you a firetruck
If that firetruck should stall
Daddy's gonna buy you a basketball
If that basketball goes flat
Daddy's gonna buy you a baseball bat
If that baseball bat won't sway
Daddy's gonna buy you a boomerang
If that boomerang falls to the ground
You'll still be the coolest kid around

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird won'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 billygoat
If that billy goat won't pull
Paps gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over
Papa's gonna buy a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won't bark
Papas 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
