What are the lyrics to American Lullaby?

In: Lyrics and Sheet Music [Edit categories]

Answer:

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!

----------------------------------

One of my favorite American art songs ever! Enjoy singing it.
