Hush-a-bye (All the Pretty Little Horses)
Lullaby
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby
When you wake
You will find
All the pretty little horses:
Oh, dapples and greys, pintos & bays,
Oh, all the pretty little horses.
Way down yonder
In a meadow
Poor little baby cryin' mama
Birds and the butterflies
Fly all around him
Poor little baby cryin' mama.
Oh, hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby
Oh, when you wake
You will find
All the pretty little horses.
