Hush you little baby |
|
Don't you say a word |
|
Here comes the devil |
|
All dressed up like a mockingbird |
|
And if that mockingbird should try to |
|
Steal you off the ground |
|
Momma's gonna grab on tight |
|
And hold you down |
|
Down |
|
Down |
|
Momma can you tell me |
|
Where did my money go |
|
What did the devil sell me |
|
I don't even know |
|
He's been pecking in my pockets |
|
Diving round my door |
|
Trying to take me with him |
|
What does he want me for |
|
Mamma told me |
|
Don't let go the ground |
|
Somebody hold me |
|
Yeah, hold me down |
|
Down |
|
Got the devil on my shoulder hollering |
|
Beating his red wings |
|
Saying Polly want a dollar |
|
I don't care if you can sing |
|
Put down that guitar now darling |
|
You can't really play it |
|
No matter what you got to say |
|
You don't know how to say it |
|
Momma told me |
|
Don't let go the ground |
|
Now somebody hold me |
|
Hold me down |
|
What's this coming |
|
What's this coming |
|
Coming over me |
|
I can't stand myself |
|
I can't even stand on my own feet |
|
But momma told me |
|
Don't let go the ground |
|
Somebody hold me |
|
Hold me down |
|
Down |
