Ben Traverse - Old Time American Music

Say, Darlin', Say

Hush little baby don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird
Say, darlin', say
If that mocking bird don't sing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Say, darlin', say

If that diamond ring is brass
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
Say, darlin', say
If that looking glass gets broke
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
Say, darlin', say

If that billy goat won't pull
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
Say, darlin', say
If that cart and bull falls over
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
Say, darlin', say

If it dog named Rover don't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart
Say, darlin', say
If that horse and cart falls down
You're still the sweetest little baby in town
Say, darlin', say
