[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
