All The Pretty Horses (lullaby) - Lyrics

Lyrics

Dorothy Scarborough recorded this version in her book in 1925:.

Hush-a-by, Don't you cry,

Go to sleep, little baby.

And when you wake, You shall have cake,

And all the pretty little ponies.

Paint and bay, Sorrel and gray,

All the pretty little ponies.

So hush-a-by, Don't you cry,

Go to sleep, little baby.

This is an additional verse included in some versions:.

Way down yonder

In de medder

There's a po' lil lambie,

De bees an' de butterflies

Peckin' out its eyes,

De po' lol lambie cried, "Mammy!"

This is an example of a current version with the lyrics "All the Pretty Little Horses":

Hush-by, Don't you cry

Go to sleep a little baby

When you wake you shall have

All the pretty little horses

Blacks and bays, dapples and grays

Coach and six a little horses

When you wake you shall have

All the pretty little horses

Hush-by, Don't you cry

Go to sleep a little baby

When you wake you shall have

All the pretty little horses
