Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep, little baby
When you wake, you shall have all the pretty horses

Blacks and bays, dapples and grays
Coach and four white horses

Way down yonder, in the meadow
Lies my poor little baby
Bees and butterflies pecking out its eyes
The poor little thing is cryin' "mammy"

Blacks and bays, dapples and grays
All the pretty, the pretty little horses
Mhm, hmm, mmm, mmm-mmm

Go to sleep, my little baby
Ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh
All the pretty little horses

Way down yonder, in the meadow
Lies my poor little baby
Bees and butterflies pecking out its eyes
Poor little thing is cryin' "mammy," mhm

Blacks and bays, dapples and grays
Coach and four

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep, my little baby
