Answer 1

Hush little baby lyrics

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,

Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,

Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,

Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,

Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Answer 2

I've heard many different versions of that song.  Here is the most popular, I think:

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,

Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird don't sing,

Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,

Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,

Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,

Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Since you've already got your answer, I won't be repetitive, but I just wanted to say that when I first had my son, I HAD to look up those words, because I was so tired of singing the same two lines. :D

Answer 6

The song is Hush Little Baby and the traditional version features "Papa" instead of "Mama". Anyway, I found the lyrics to the alternate "Mama" version at this site: http://www.grandparentsmagazine.net/Song...

Hush, little baby. Don't say a word. Mama's going to buy you a mocking bird.

And if that mocking bird won'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 you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turns over, Mama's going to buy 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 falls down, You'll still be the sweetest one in town.
