Oh (hush your mouth!)
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Hey little baby don't you cry,
mama gonna drop around
Hey little baby don't say a word,
mama gonna whoop you 'bout somethin' you heard
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Mama gonna buy you a diamond ring,
if that diamond ring's brass,
mama gonna buy a lookin' glass
If that lookin' glass is broke,
mama gonna buy a horse and coach
If that horse and coach turn over,
mama gonna buy you a dog named Rover
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Oh (hush your mouth!)
Oh (Hush your mouth!)
A coonskin alligator hide,
make into shoes baby, jus' like mine
Don't be scared to put 'em on your feet,
scared 'bout me, jus' can't be beat
Hush your mouth!
Hush your mouth!
