Nina Simone — Hush Little Baby

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] If that diamond ring turns 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 won't pull Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull [Bridge] Hush little baby don't say a word Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird When he's there sleeping in his little place He can see the angels looking through the lace When the dark is falling and the shadows creep Then they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleep [Verse 3] Sweetest little fella everybody knows Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose Looking at his mommy with eyes so shiny blue 'Til it seems like heaven is coming close to you [Outro] 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 a diamond ring Hush little baby Hush little baby Don't say a word
