little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird can sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest little one in town
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird can't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking -glass.
If that looking -glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy -goat.
If that billy -goat don't bowl,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bowl.
If that cart and ball turn over
If that dog named Rover no more
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest thing in
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird can't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking -glass.
If that looking -glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat don't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a carton bull.
If that cart and boat turn over
If that dog named Robert no bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest little one in town
