Hush little baby don't you cry
Your mama's got a 12 Guage held up high
And if that boy ever breaks your heart
I'll send 'em where the moon meets and kisses the stars
He's messing with my baby
And I ain't gonna tell him twice
If you come home cryin'
Kiss the Chevy and these matches goodbye
You're coming off gentle
Something like a preacher's daughter
The same can't be said for me
Thanks to your father
'Cause I know his kind like the back of my hand
Just 'cause he's a male don't make him a man
Hush little baby don't you cry
Your mama's got a 12 Guage held up high
And if that boy ever breaks your heart
I'll send 'em where the moon meets and kisses the stars
I count my blessings, count these shells
It'll only take one shot to bring him down
Better treat you right 'cause if he don't
The lord is gonna call him home
Keep his eyes open
The very last thing he'll see
Is me standin' with a shovel
Bury him six foot deep
Hush little baby don't be scared
We'll lay him next to daddy in the graveyard there
Hush little baby don't you cry
Your mama's got a 12 Guage held up high
And if that boy ever breaks your heart
I'll send 'em where the moon meets and kisses the stars
I count my blessings, count these shells
It'll only take one shot to bring him down
Better treat you right 'cause if he don't
The lord is gonna call him home
Oh the lord is gonna call him home
So tonight before you go to sleep
Pray to the lord my soul to keep
