Hush a by baby Thy cradle is green Father's a nobleman and mother's a queen Sister's a lady and wears a gold ring Brother's a drummer who drums for the king Once a by baby There lived a great king Who had a garden it looked like a dream Roses and lillies are purple and green Every warm summer bouquets for the queen Once a by baby this garden so fair Had trees for the children to climb and play there Fruit in the branches, red cherries and pears The king said come play, there is plenty to share
