Hush-A-Bye Hard Times

Lyrics

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
 Oh hard times come again no more
 Oh hard times come again no more
 ♪
 Oh hush a bye hard times, go ye away
 Cause my hungry baby wants a Gingerbread Cake
 Not a cow in the barn yard no money to spend
 Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen
 So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
 Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
 There's a wolf at the door with an angry
 Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
 And the cupboard is bare
 ♪
 Oh, hush a bye hard times go ye to rest
 Cause my ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress
 And she wants some new shoes with buckles to wear
 And she wants some silver bows for her golden hair
 So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
 Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
 There's a wolf at the door with an angry
 Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
 And the cupboard is bare
 So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
 Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
 There's a wolf at the door with an angry
 Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
 And the cupboard is bare
 Hush a bye hard times go ye away
 I don't intend to be treated this way
 
 So, hush a bye baby
 Hush a bye hard times
 Hush a bye baby
 Don't cry no more
 Hush a bye hard times
 Hush a bye baby
 Hush a bye hard times
 Come ye no more
 Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
 Hush a bye hard times
 Come ye no more
 Hush a bye baby
 Hush a bye hard times
 Hush a bye baby
 Don't cry no more
 Hush a bye hard times
 Hush a bye baby
 Hush a bye hard times
 Come ye no more
