Hush Little Baby Songtext
von Nina Simone

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

If that diamond ring turn 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 don'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
In cause see the Angels looking to delays
When dark is falling and the shadows grin
Then they come on tiptoe
To kiss him in his sleep

Sweetest little fellow
Everybody knows
And don't know what to call him
But he is mighty like a rose
Looking at his mammie
With eyes so shiny blue
Till it seems like Heaven
It's 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 diamond ring

Hush little baby
Hush little baby
Don't say a wooord
