From the recording From the Shadows
Lyrics
Hush little baby don’t say a word
Momma will love you just the best way she’s learned
And when you find that her love is in lack
Momma will pass down her broke looking glass
Oh mirror mirror on the wall
Can you tell me who momma loves most of all
Cuz I got everything that I could wish for
But I’m just a cracked empty shell on a wall
Rockabye baby on the treetop didn’t know baby
Could crawl so high up
When the wind blows the cradle will fall
Down will come baby cradle and all
Well daddy I been praying that God would keep me safe
From the critters in the closet and the noises they make
But one thing I forgot to ask of him
Protect me from all of the spirits within
I may ride in a little red hood, a little red hood, a little red hood
But I Iain’t afraid of no big bad wolf
He can eat me if he likes
So don’t be surprised when baby’s heart turns to ice
They’ll break out the knives trying to bleed what’s inside
Hush little baby don’t say a word
They need you to smile so they feel their worth
But one thing they left you with one thing’s for sure
Baby better find your own way outta this hole
He can eat me if he likes
