Nina Simone - Hush Little Baby lyrics
[Nina Simone - Hush Little Baby lyrics]
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat won't pull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
Hush little baby don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
When he's there sleeping in his little place
He can see the angels
Looking through the lace
When the dark is falling
And the shadows creep
Then they come on tiptoe to
Kiss him in his sleep
Sweetest little fella everybody knows
Don't know what to call him but
He's mighty like a rose
Looking at his mommy with eyes so shiny blue
'Til it seems like heaven is
Coming close to you
So, hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Hush little baby hush little baby
Don't say a word
