And if that bully goat won't pull
Momma's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Momma's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Momma's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart break down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
I think "cart" is in there twice; at least, that's the way I remember it
(the baby's eight!).

All I know are the first three verses, but my daughter doesn't seem to
care. Just repeat them over and over and over and over . . . .
Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
If that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring is brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
This is guaranteed to put my little one to sleep after only a few
hundred repetitions!
Happy humming,
Claudia
Andrea Luxenburg
To continue:
If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and a bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You're still the prettiest little baby in town.

I never can remember all the words, so I just make them up (ie: and
if that glass of milk does spill, mama's gonna take you to see Boot Hill,
and if Boot Hill is too far away, mama's gonna take you another day, and
if that other day is sunny, mama's gonna stop at the ATM for money....)
And you can just go on with this forever. Goofy, but my baby seems to
like it.

When trying to get a squriming child to giggle instead of whine:
Hush little baby don't you squirm
Mama's gonna buy you a big fat worm
If that worm don't catch a fish
Mama's gonna make a vegetarian dish
If that dish don't taste to good
Mama's gonna send out for chineese food
If that chineese food don't come
Mama's gonna say "this song is dumb"
etc. etc. - bad rhymes and silly stories are the most fun
or maybe
Hush little baby don't you wiggle
Mama's gonna buy you a great big piggle
If that piggle don't know how to snort
Mama's gonna build him a piggle fort
If that piggle fort don't make him smile
Mama's gonna chase him around for a while
If that piggle runs away too fast
Mama's gonna give this song up at last
If your kid's are going to think you're crazy why not prove them right?
Besides, imagination and not being afraid to make a fool of yourself seem
like good traits to instill.

Hush little baby don't you cry, mama's going to buy you a mocking bird.
If that mockingbird don't sing,
mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat gets bone-y,
mama's going to buy you a shetland pony.
And if that pony runs away,
mama's going to buy you another someday.
Hush now, don't you cry, mama's here with a lullaby,
(repeat beginning)
There are a few different versions. Another one I like is:
Tell me why the stars do shine.
Tell me why the ivy twines.
Tell me why the sky's so blue,
and I will tell you, why I love you.
It's beautiful.

I sing this one to my daughter every night. The second verse is:
Because G-d made the stars to shine
Because G-d made the ivy twine
Because G-d made the sky so blue
Because G-d made you, that's why I love you.
Not a popular verse for the agnostic crowd, but we just love this song,
too. I actually first heard it on "For Our Children," sung by Pat
Benatar.

The way I learned it was:
Hush little baby, don't say a word.
Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mocking bird don't sing,
Momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring is glass,
Momma's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass should break,
Momma's gonna buy you a chocolate cake.
And if that chocolate cake you eat,
Momma's gonna buy you a puppy sweet.
So hush little baby don't say a word,
Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

Hush little baby don't you cry,

Hush little baby, Hush little baby, Hush.
This is what my tape with lullabies has for this song. My 5month old son
loves to here me sing it to him at bedtime.

Isn't it funny how many versions there are to the old song standards. In
our version...if that goat should run away, mommy's gonna love you
anyway..so hush, hush, hush. And my husband has still another version
that has wonderful words about the blazing sun, but I couldn't tell them
as I don't know them!! I suppose if anyone's interested, they can e-mail
me.

Actually, since I'd forgotten the remainder of the song, I made up my own
version of the rest...
If that diamond ring don't shine
Momma's going to buy you some fishing line.
If that fishing line don't fish,
Momma's going to grant you every wish
Oh well, it's not that great, but at least it finished the song...*wink*
