Adapted from: Hush Little Baby written by [Traditional]
Comments: Variant of Hush Little Baby that has been turned into a fiddle tune. Song starts out with two verses of "Hush, Little Baby," but veers off: "All I've got is you in mind/Wouldn't do nothing but starch and iron"; "Starch and iron will be your trade/And I can get drunk and lay in the shade" Chorus: "Say, darling, say". Ernest Stoneman and the Sweet Brothers first recorded this on July 9, 1928 for Gennett as "Justin Winfield". Stoneman said he learned the song/tune from his older cousins.
