Hush, L'il Baby

Hush, l'il baby, don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockin'bird.

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

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

.........gets broke
.........billygoat.

.........don't pull,
.........cart and bull

.........turn over
..........dog named Rover
..........won't bark
..........horse and cart.

..........fall down,
Then you'll be the sweetest li'l baby in town.
