Hushabye

Don't you cry go to sleep little baby
When you wake you'll have cake and all the pretty little horses

........................
Birds and butterflies pecking at its eyes, crying out for its mammy

Now these days you don't really hear that last line when the lullabye is sung. What I want to know is what are the real words to it completely uncensored. Frankly I find the fact that they alter the words just to supposedly protect the child rather disasterous, when you consider how old it is.

Current 93 does a stellar version of this song, you should definitely try to track it down.


Otherwise, the lyrics and origin of the song can be found here:
