Hush Little Baby

We offer twenty delightful lullabies and nursery rhymes to lull your young children to sleep. Though they're sung by acclaimed professionals, mom and dad and older siblings can sing along. More important, toddlers not able to talk yet and even babies in cradles should acquire a nascent appreciation of language that will wax greater and greater, year after year.

Baby Pictured in a Pink Crib

Lisa Loeb

Hush little baby, don't say a word

Mama's going to buy you a mockin' bird

And if that mockin' bird don't sing

Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring

​

And if that diamond ring turns brass

Mama's going to buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke

Mama's going to buy you a billy goat

​

And if that billy goat don't pull

Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over

Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover

​

And if that dog named Rover won't bark

Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down

Well you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
