"HUSH, LITTLE BABY, DON'T SAY A WORD" by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: PAPA'S GOING TO BUY YOU ANOTHER TODAY

HUSH, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's going to buy you a mocking bird.

If the mocking bird won't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.

If the diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.

If the looking-glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat.

If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa's going to buy you another today.
