Mockingbird

This is my entry for LibertyTown's "Bird's the Word". The idea is to incorporate art and words having to do with birds. I chose the traditional lullaby, "Hush Little Baby".


Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And it that mockingbird won't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring


And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke
Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat


And if that billy goat won't pull,
Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull



And if that cart and bull turn over,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart.



And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
