Hush little baby

Hush little baby
don't say a word
momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird
If that mocking bird don't sing
momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring

If that diamond ring turns brass
momma's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
momma's going to buy you a billie goat

If that billie goat won't pull
momma's going to buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull fall over
momma's gonna buy you a dog named rover

If that dog named rover don't bark
momma'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.







Nearly 12 months ago I did not actually know any of the song past the diamond ring....
so in the first half of your life there was many different versions.

It was hummed. HmmHmmmhmmm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmm
It was la la' d. La la la la la lala la la la la la lala

And it was improved.
And if that diamond ring.....won't shine.
Momma's gonna drink a bottle of wine.

Fortunately for you, I listened to the song once on the radio, used my quick memorization skills to soak up all the versus and now sing you to sleep with this lullaby every night of your little perfect life.



I love you.



And if that Horse and Cart fall down
you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
