Lullaby

Hush little baby, snuggle on down

Your no good daddy has just skipped town

He gave away the carpet from under my toes

But I loved your daddy like nobody knows

Hush little baby, snuggle in tight

Your no good daddy vanished into the night

He stole my life and he mocked my yearning

But I loved your daddy like a stormcloud burning

Hush little baby, it's just no use

Your no good daddy played fast and loose

He scattered our wedding gifts far and wide

And all that's left is this useless bride

Hush little baby, just sleep on through

Your no good daddy walked off into the blue

He made his plans like I was just not there

But I loved your daddy like the pure sweet air

Hush little baby the night is long

Your no good daddy's not worth this song

He called up down and love a struggle

Oh I'm so tired, babe. Now sleep and snuggle.

Hush little baby, it's almost dawn

Your no good daddy he moved right on

The years an insult thrown like stones

But I loved your daddy deep, deep in my bones
