This lullaby comes from the Southern U.S.
All the Pretty Little Horses
Lullaby
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Coach and six-a-little horses,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby,
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.
Way down yonder, down in the meadow,
There's a poor wee little lambie.
The bees and the butterflies pickin' at its eyes*,
The poor wee thing cried for her mammy.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.
*Alternatively, "peckin' out his eyes"
Thanks to Monique Palomares for the midi tune.
