1.)Hush, little baby; don't you cry.
    You'll be an angel by an' by.
    I'm gonna wear a starry crown over there.
    (cho)Over there, over there
         There's a land that's fair and brightover there.
         Hush, little baby; don't you cry --
         You'll be an angel by an' by.
         I'm gonna wear a starry crown over there.
2.)Jordan's river is chilly an' cold;
    Chills the body but not the soul.
    I'm gonna wear a starry crown over there.

Learned from an Ed McCurdy recording from the early '60s (possibly a Newport Folk Festival recording; not sure). Sorry I don't know how to get the tune to you. He was accompanying himself on guitar. This is sung beautifully, gently -- a lullaby. On the same record he did a great rendition of "Blood On The Saddle".

In practical application (a lullaby is a work song) this one works as one of a group of soft, gentle songs while holding child/infant in arms, 'specially if a rocking chair is involved. I say this as a mother of 3 and grandmother of 4. Happy singing.   Tw
