These words are straightly germane to "Hush Little Baby", which Frank Warner and dozens of others used to sing.

Hush little baby, don't say a word
Momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
An' if that mockingbird don't sing
Momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turn brass
Momma's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass done broke
Momma's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull
Momma's gonna buy you a cart and a bull
And if that cart and bull break down
You'll still be the prettiest little baby in town!

Used to hear it from my mother, and was foolish enough to believe her, too! But the only song of Hambone I ever heard was a sort of Black Bottom jive couplet a friend from Tallahassee used to perform that went:

Hambone, Hambone, where ya been?
Down to the river, an' I'm goin' agin!

Which suggests things better left to the imagination.
