Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Hush now, sweet child, no need for a sound,
Papa’s going to bring you a mockingbird, noble and crowned.
And if that fine bird should choose not to sing,
Papa’s going to find you a ring fit for a king.

A gentle lullaby promises a mockingbird and a king’s ring to comfort a sweet child to sleep.

And if that bright ring should ever grow dull,
Papa’s going to give you a looking glass, beautiful and full.
And if that clear glass should ever crack or break,
Papa’s going to find you a goat for your sake.

A soothing lullaby offers gifts like a shining ring, a looking glass, and even a goat to keep the child happy.

And if that strong goat refuses to tow,
Papa’s going to bring you a cart and a bull to make things go.
And if that cart and bull should happen to tip,
Papa’s going to get you a faithful pup.

A tender lullaby promises a goat, a cart with a bull, and finally a loyal puppy to comfort the child.

And if that good dog, Rover, is quiet and still,
Papa’s going to buy you a horse and a cart on the hill.
And if that horse and cart should stumble and fall,
You will remain the most wonderful treasure of all.

A loving lullaby ends by reminding the child that no matter what, they will always be the greatest treasure of all.

So hush now, my darling, and please don’t you cry,
You are so loved by your Mama and I.
