All The Pretty Little Horses (Negro Lullaby) lyrics

Hushabye, don't you cry

Go to sleep, ye little baby

When you wake, you shall have

All the pretty little horses



Dapples and greys, pintos and bays,

All the pretty little horses



Way down yonder

In the meadow

Poor little baby crying ‘Mama'

The birds and the butterflies

Flutter ‘round his eyes

Poor little baby crying ‘Mama'



Hushabye, don't you cry

Go to sleep, ye little baby
