Momma’s gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don’t send you to sleep
Momma’s gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, I know not why
Things that we’ve worked for they started to sell
Now heaven is for angels and earth is hell
Hush little baby your time may come
When things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long
Hush oh, my child, Momma’s only sad
They’ve damned nearly taken away all I have
And all I have in the world is you
Just you and the future’s that sees me through
But hush oh, my child, Momma’s only sad
They’ve damned nearly taken away all I have
And all I have in the world is you
All I have in the world is you
It’s you and the future’s that sees me through
