Thread Name: Origins: Hush little baby, don't say a word
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hush little baby, don't say a word
My dad would sing his version to me every night, this is it:
Hush little baby don't say a word
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring is glass
Daddy's going to buy you a looking-glass
And if that looking glass should crack
Daddy's gonna buy you a jumping jack
And if that jumping jack won't hop
Daddy's going to buy you a lollipop
And when that lollipop is gone
Daddy's going to buy you another one
And if that lollipop is all eaten up
Daddy's going to buy you a real live pup
And if that real live pup won't bark
Daddy's going to buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart should fall down
You're still the prettiest girl around
