Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise mama's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Ima give you the world
Ima buy a diamond ring for you
Ima sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
Ima break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't f with dad
