Hush-a-bye, don't you cry.

Go to sleep, you little baby.

When you wake, you shall have

All the pretty little horses.

 

C                  Am

Dapples and grays, pintos and bays

C       E            Am

All the pretty little horses.

 

Way down yonder in the meadow

Poor little baby crying mama.

Birds and the butterflies flutter all round his eyes.

Poor little baby crying mama.

 

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry.

Go to sleep, you little baby.

When you wake, you shall have

All the pretty little horses.

 

Dapples and grays, pintos and bays

All the pretty little horses.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry.

Go to sleep, you little baby.
