Hush little baby and don’t say a word
No one’s gonna come and help you little girl
And when you’re alone and the stars don’t shine
Momma’s gonna turn and put out the light
Hush
Die
Hush little baby and close your eyes
You will never know the joy of afterlife
And as you cross time on the cold, damp earth
Momma’s gonna mind to her dirty shirts
Hush
Die
Hush little baby and don’t say a word
Your obscene soul is not for this world
And when you’ve fallen so far from grace
Momma’s gonna shun your life away
Hush
Die
Hush little baby and forever sleep
No one’s gonna learn your name, little sweet
And when your body swells and aches
Momma’s gonna leave you at the rusted gates
“Semper enim momma”
