Dolly Parton "Hush-a-Bye Hard Times" |
(Dolly Parton) 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. Chorus: 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. Chorus: 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. Chorus: 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...
