What are the lyrics to American Lullaby?

Answer 1

Hush-a-bye, you sweet little baby,

And don't you cry anymore.

Daddy is down at his stockbroker's office

A-keepin' the wolf from the door.

Nursie will raise the windowshade high,

So you can see the cars whizzing by.

Home in a hurry each Daddy must fly,

To a baby like you.

Hush-a-bye you sweet little baby,

And close those pretty blue eyes.

Mother has gone to her weekly bridge party,

To get her wee baby the prize.

Nursie will turn the radio on

So you can hear a sleepytime song

Sung by a lady whose poor heart must long

For a baby like you!
