about

"Hush, Little Baby" is a traditional lullaby, thought to have been written in the United States (mockingbirds are from the New World), but the author and date of origin are unknown. The lyrics promise all kinds of rewards to the child if he or she is quiet. The simple structure allows more verses to be added ad lib.

lyrics

Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Pop-Pop's gonna sing you a lullaby. 
Hush little baby don't say a word,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a mockingbird. 
If that mockingbird won't sing,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a golden ring. 
If that gold ring turns to brass,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a looking glass. 

If that glass begins to crack,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a jumping jack. 
If that jumping jack is broke,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a velvet cloak. 
If that velvet cloth is coarse,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a rocking horse. 
If that rocking horse won't rock,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a cuckoo clock. 

If that cuckoo clock won't tick,
Pop-Pop's gonna buy you a walking stick. 
If that walking stick falls down,
you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town!

Paul Palan - Life In Between Lincoln, Nebraska

I have been looking for a place to post my songs. I'm glad you found it. I've been playing acoustic guitar and bass for some time. This site for me, is a place to share my music. You'll find mostly original, but also songs that have special meaning to me. Songs that I thought would be neat to record myself. So, take a look around. I'll add more as I finish them. Blessings,
Paul ... more
