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...
