There's a busy little still
Where your pappy's workin' in the moonlight
Your lovin' pa
Isn't quite within the law
So he's hidin' there behind the hill
Bye bye, baby
Stop your yawnin'
Don't cry, baby
Day will be dawnin'
And when it does
From the mountain where he was
He'll be comin' with a jug of moonshine
So count your sheep
Mama's singin' you to sleep
With a moonshine lullaby
Dream of pappy
Very happy
With his jug of mountain rye
So count your sheep
Mama's singin' you to sleep
With a moonshine lullaby
Behind the hill There's a busy little still Where your pappy's workin' in the moonlight Your lovin' pa Isn't quite within the law So he's hidin' there behind the hill Bye bye, baby Stop your yawnin' Don't cry, baby Day will be dawnin' And when it does From the mountain where he was He'll be comin' with a jug of moonshine So count your sheep Mama's singin' you to sleep With a moonshine lullaby Dream of pappy Very happy With his jug of mountain rye So count your sheep Mama's singin' you to sleep With a moonshine lullaby Explain Request ×
