Our Singing Country
Daddy shot a bear, Daddy shot a bear. Shot him through the keyhole An' never touch a hair . . .
On and on as long as the baby likes it.
HUSH, LPL' BABY
eK No. 878. Annie Brewer, Montgomery, Ala., 1937. See Sh, 2:342.
Fast J =120
Hush, li'l'ba-by, don'say a word, Mam-ma's gon-na buy you a mock-in'bird.
1   Hush, li'l' baby, don' say a word, Mamma's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
2  If that mockin'bird don7 sing, Mamma's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
3   If that diamond ring turn brass, Mamma's gonna buy you a lookin' glass.
4  If that lookin' glass gets broke, Mamma's gonna buy you a billygoat.
5  If that billygoat won' pull, Mamma's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
6  If that cart and bull turn over,
Mamma's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
7  If that dog named Rover won' bark, Mamma's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
8   If that horse and cart fall down, You'll be the sweetest girl in town.
