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
Repeat chorus twice
Hush a bye hard times go ye away I don't intend to be treated this way
So, hush a bye baby Hush a bye hard times Hush a bye baby Don't cry no more Hush a bye hard times Hush a bye baby Hush a bye hard times Come ye no more
Fade:
Many years you have lingered around my cabin door Hush a bye hard times Come ye no more Hush a bye baby Hush a bye hard times Hush a bye baby Don't cry no more Hush a bye hard times Hush a bye baby Hush a bye hard times Come ye no more
