HUSH, LITTLE BABY
DON'T SAY A WORD,
PAPA'S GONNA BUY YOU
A MOCKING BIRD;

IF THAT MOCKING BIRD WON'T SING
PAPA'S GONNA BUY YOU
A DIAMOND RING;

IF THAT DIAMOND RING
TURNS TO 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
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
BABY IN TOWN.
