The mocking bird

R. Fleming

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

Poppa's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird can't sing,

Poppa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass

Poppa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,

Poppa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat don't pull,

Poppa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,

Poppa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won't bark,

Poppa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart fall down,

You'll be the sweetest little one in town.
