[Dolly Parton - Hush-a-Bye Hard Times lyrics]
Many years you have lingered
Around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hush-a-bye hard times, go ye away
'Cause my hungry baby wants
A gingerbread cake
Not a cow in the barnyard, no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen
So hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with
An angry cold hungry stare
He keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare
Oh hush-a-bye hard times, go ye to rest
'Cause my ragged baby wants
A new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes
With buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows
For her golden hair
So hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with
An angry cold hungry stare
He keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare
Hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
Hush-a-bye hard times go ye away
I don't intend to be treated this way
So hush-a-bye baby hush-a-bye hard times
Hush-a-bye baby don't cry no more
Hush-a-bye hard times hush-a-bye baby
Hush-a-bye hard times come ye no more
Many years you have lingered
Around my cabin door hush-a-bye hard times
Come ye no more hush-a-bye baby
Hush-a-bye hard times hush-a-bye baby
Don't cry no more hush-a-bye hard times
Hush-a-bye baby hush-a-bye hard times
Come ye no more
Around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hush-a-bye hard times, go ye away
'Cause my hungry baby wants
A gingerbread cake
Not a cow in the barnyard, no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen
So hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with
An angry cold hungry stare
He keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare
Oh hush-a-bye hard times, go ye to rest
'Cause my ragged baby wants
A new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes
With buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows
For her golden hair
So hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with
An angry cold hungry stare
He keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare
Hush-a-bye baby, don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you
What you're crying for
Hush-a-bye hard times go ye away
I don't intend to be treated this way
So hush-a-bye baby hush-a-bye hard times
Hush-a-bye baby don't cry no more
Hush-a-bye hard times hush-a-bye baby
Hush-a-bye hard times come ye no more
Many years you have lingered
Around my cabin door hush-a-bye hard times
Come ye no more hush-a-bye baby
Hush-a-bye hard times hush-a-bye baby
Don't cry no more hush-a-bye hard times
Hush-a-bye baby hush-a-bye hard times
Come ye no more
