All the Pretty Horses (Traditional Lullaby)

Written by an African American slave who wasn't able to take care of her own child, because she was too busy taking care of her master's kid.

LYRICS:
hush a bye, don't you cry
go to sleep my little baby
when you wake you shall have
all the pretty little horses

blacks and bays, dappled-and-grays
all the pretty little horses

way down yonder, on the green
poor little baby crying mama
birds and butterflies round his eyes
poor little baby crying mama

hush a bye, don't you cry
go to sleep my little baby
when you wake you shall have
all the pretty little horses

blackened days, gone away
all the pretty little horses

hush a bye, don't you cry
go to sleep my little baby

I would love a copy of you singing this. Have you thought about or already made a CD? You would be famous in minutes. Such a sweet, calming, care-free voice as yours is needed in this crazy world.

Thank you for this. I've been singing this to my children for 14 years. It's our special lullaby. Your version is absolutely beautiful.
