Hush Little Baby

Hush little baby is one of the traditional baby songs, loved by many generations of parents and children. The way its verses are set up, makes it great to invent and add your own: things you will buy and see go lost .

Be careful though not to trigger any strong emotions in your baby right before bedtime. I wouldn't sing about that favourite toy that went missing...

As for the origin or author of the song, not much is known. Since mockingbirds originate from the American continent, it is thought that that is where the lyrics were first composed.




Hush, little baby
Don't say a word

Mama's going to buy you a mocking bird

And if that mocking bird,
Doesn't sing

Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring

Mama's going to buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat
Runs away

Mama's going to buy you another day
