Behind the hill
There's a busy little still
Where your pappy's working in the moonlight
Your lovin' pa
Isn't quite within the law
So he's hiding there behind the hill

Bye bye, baby
Stop your yawning
Don't cry, baby
Day will be dawning

And when it does
From the mountain where he was
He'll be coming with a jug of moonshine
So count your sheep
Mamma's singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby

Dream of pappy
Very happy
With his jug of mountain rye
So count your sheep
Mamma's singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
