sup before we go.â
Hush-A-Bye
Hush-a-bye, baby, lie still with thy daddy.
Thy mammy has gone to the mill,
To get some meal to bake a cake,
So pray, my dear baby, lie still.
Hush-a-bye, baby,
Daddy is near;
Mamma is a lady,
And thatâs very clear.
Hush Baby Dolly
Hush, baby, my dolly, I pray you donât cry,
And Iâll give you some bread, and some milk by-and-by;
Or perhaps you like custard, or maybe a tart,
Then to either youâre welcome, with all of my heart.
