lyrics

Hush my little baby, don’t say a word.
​Mama ain’t gonna buy another mockingbird.
She’ll just open up the window and let it fly on in.
Singing to her day and night since, God, I don’t know when.
Got a rose between its beak and a halo made of thorns.
As beautiful as Lucifer, ‘fore his fallout with the Lord. Oh, yeah.

Hush my baby, don’t you cry.
Mama’s gonna sing a little lullaby
To forget all of your troubles, let ‘em float away.
Out the window with the breeze. Come back some other day.
Along with your troubles, forget what you heard about shiny things, like diamond rings from pretty little birds.

There will always be a Winter.
And even Summer has its rain.
Diamonds and pearls attract some pretty little girls,
But that ain’t the way it should be…no.

Hush my darlin’, Papa’s coming home.
Spending all his time away, leaving us alone.
And he goes out ‘til the nighttime has turned back into day and his pockets have been emptied by another bird of prey.
And that’s alright with Mama, you’ll never see her cry.
While Papa’s ring has turned to brass, Mama’s ring still shines.

There will always be a Winter.
And even Summer has its rain.
Diamonds and pearls attract some pretty little girls,
But that ain’t the way it should be...no.

Hush my little baby, Mama’s gonna tell you a little secret that she has kept so well.
There’s a couple ways of living for you to do just fine.
There’s a choice of love or money: purse strings or valentines. There’s a flaw in every diamond, a cloud in every sky. Spread your wings my baby bird. Fly my darlin’ fly.

There will always be a Winter.
And even Summer has its rain
Diamonds and pearls attract some pretty little girls,
But that ain’t the way it should be...no.
