[Chorus]
Oh (hush your mouth!)[x2]

[Verse 1]
Hey little baby don't you cry
Mama going to drop around by and by
Hey little baby don't say a word
Mama going to whoop you about something you heard

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Mama going to buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring's brass
Mama going to buy a looking glass
If that looking glass is broke
Mama going to buy a horse and coach
If that horse and coach turn over
Mama going to buy you a dog named Rover

[Chorus]
Oh (hush your mouth!)[x4]

[Verse 3]
A coonskin alligator hide
Make into shoes baby, just like mine
Don't be scared to put them on your feet
Scared about me, just can't be beat
[Chorus]
Hush your mouth![x2]
