Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep, my little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays,
Coach and six little horses.
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep, my little baby.
Down in the meadow, poor little babe,
Birds and butterflies fluttering by, babe.
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
All the pretty little horses.
When you wake, you’ll have sweet cake,
And all the pretty little horses.
A brown and a gray, and a black and a bay,
Coach and six little horses.
Hush now, baby, don’t you weep,
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Dream of skies wide and deep,
Oh, all the pretty little horses.
