Mockingbird

Hush you little baby

Don't you say a word

Here comes the devil

All dressed up like a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird should try to

Steal you off the ground

Momma's gonna grab on tight

And hold you down

Down

Down

Momma can you tell me

Where did my money go

What did the devil sell me

I don't even know

He's been pecking in my pockets

Diving round my door

Trying to take me with him

What does he want me for

Mamma told me

Don't let go the ground

Somebody hold me

Yeah

Hold me down

Down

Got the devil on my shoulder hollering

Beating his red wings

Saying Polly want a dollar

I don't care if you can sing

Put down that guitar now darling

You can't really play it

No matter what you got to say

You don't know how to say it

Momma told me

Don't let go the ground

Now somebody hold me

Hold me down

What's this coming

What's this coming

Coming over me

I can't stand myself

I can't even stand on my own feet

But momma told me

Don't let go the ground

Somebody hold me

Hold me down

Down
