Hush little baby, don't say a word
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird
(But/and) If that mockingbird don't sing
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat won't pull
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog, named Rover, won't bark
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town
