A hauntingly beautiful lullaby rooted in the African American oral tradition, believed to date back to the early 1800s. First published in 1925 in Dorothy Scarborough's 'On the Trail of Negro Folk-Songs,' it remains one of the most tender and moving lullabies in American folk heritage.
Full Lyrics
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep, my little baby. When you wake, you shall have 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 sleep, my little baby. Way down yonder in the meadow, Lies a poor little lambie, The bees and the butterflies Pecking out its eyes. Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep, my little baby. When you wake, you shall have All the pretty little horses.
