Outside your window, rain is pouring down

You know that by tomorrow morning

There won't be no rain around

Well, hush a bye, my baby

Hush a bye, my darling child

You can tell, you know darn well

Your daddy wouldn't lie to you

Well, if you go to sleep now

Tell you what I'll do

I'll go outside in a midnight sky

And catch a star for you

Well, hush a bye, my baby

Hush a bye, my darling child

'Cause you can tell

You know darn well

Your daddy wouldn't lie to you

Well, in the morning

When you rub your sleepy eyes

We'll go catch us some ol' catfish

Down by the riverside

Hush a bye, my baby

Hush a bye, my darling child

'Cause you can tell

You know darn well

Your daddy wouldn't lie to you

Your daddy wouldn't lie to you
