CUBAN FOLK LULLABY, by                    
First Line: "hush, my darling, sleep quickly"
Last Line: "hush, my baby, sleep quickly!"


Hush, my darling, sleep quickly,
For there comes the black man,
Who will eat all little children that lie awake.
Hush, my darling, sleep quickly!
Hush, my baby, sleep quickly!
