Ozark Mountain Lullaby

In the cradle deep baby sleeps by the warm soft firelight

Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la

Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

Mama's fixin' up some supper daddy's workin' up a sweat

Cause anytime the creek might rise and the crops ain't all in yet

Sister's got her chores to do and Lord knows I've got mine

We rest our head when the day is ended to the Ozark Mountain lullaby

La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la

Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

The Lord smiles on our country home

The love that's not here to buy

And while we children grow we learn to know

That love is the tie that binds

Someday when we're on our own with a family by and by

We'll be singin' to our children the Ozark Mountain lullaby

La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la

Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

La la la la la la la...
