Hush, my baby, baby
Don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
You say we know the reasons why
Some are born some men die
beneath one infinite sky
There'll be war, there'll be peace
But everything one day will cease
All the iron turns to rust
All the proud men turn to dust
So all things time will mend...
and so this song will end.
