[Verse 1]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
You know your mommy was born to die
She gave you money and everything
Hush, my baby, don't you cry

[Verse 2]
Your poppy wanted her to die
And I know your reason why
Hush, my baby, don't you cry
You know your mommy was born to die

[Chorus]
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry

[Verse 3]
I loved your mommy, baby
Your poppy too
But I'm afraid for only you
Hush, my baby, don't you cry

[Chorus]
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
[Verse 1]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
You know your mommy was born to die
She gave you money and everything
Hush, my baby, don't you cry

[Chorus]
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry

Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
Lordy, lordy, ay, ay, ay
Help me baby not to cry
