lullaby #1

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,

Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,

Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,

Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,

Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,

Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

You probably know this song from American movies, that's how I know it anyway. I always thought the melody was rather scary, so I decided to look up the lyrics. That doesn't change the way I feel about it... Or is it just me?
