Traditional - origin unknown.
Hush little baby don´t say a word, Mama´s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
If that mocking bird won´t sing, Mama´s gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass, Mama´s gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke, Mama´s gonna buy you a Billy goat.
If that Billy goat gets bony, Mama´s gonna buy you a Shetland pony.
If that pony runs away, Mama´s going to buy you another some day.
