HUSH, LI'L BABY (The Mockingbird Song)
adapted and arranged by John A. Lomax and Alan Lomax


	Hush li'l baby, don't say a word
	Mamma's gonna buy you a mockin'bird
	
	D - - - / A - - - /    / D - - - //

	If that mockin'bird don't sing
	Mamma's gonna buy you a diamond ring

	If that diamond ring turn brass
	Mamma's gonna buy you a lookin' glass

	If that lookin' glass gets broke
	Mamma's gonna buy you a billygoat

	If that billygoat won't pull
	Mamma's gonna buy you a cart and bull

	If that cart and bull turn over
	Mamma's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

	If that dog named Rover won't bark
	Mamma's gonna buy you a horse and cart

	If that horse and cart fall down
	You'll be the sweetest baby in town
