Hushaby,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy, 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
Hushaby,
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy, little baby.

Hushaby! 
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy, little baby.
Way down yonder
In the meadow
There's a poor little lambie,
The bees and the butterflies
Pecking out its eyes,
The poor little thing cried, 'Mammy!'
Hushaby! 
Don't you cry,
Go to sleepy, little baby.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Frandsen (b. 1956), "All the Pretty Little Horses", 1987 [ voice and guitar ], from Seven Silly Songs, no. 6, confirmed with a CD booklet
