Tekst til Hush, little baby

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word

Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird don’t sing

Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Mana’s gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke

Mana’s gonna buy you a billy goat

And it that billy goat don’t pull

Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over

Mana’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won’t bark

Mana’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down

Well, you’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
