hush little baby, don’t you cry
daddy’s gonna find you a brand new sky
sweet magnolia coming through the air
and daddy’s gonna take you there

you can smell the love simmerin’ right on the stove
red beans and corn bread and her sweet potato pie coolin’
sweet magnolia brings it all back again
sit you down at the table there

i know it’s been hard me not bein’ around
highway takes me farther down
sweet magnolia comin’ through the air
and daddy’s gonna take you there

april moon on the bayou lights up the night
mockingbird gypsies bring their fool’s delight

so hush little baby, don’t you cry
daddy’s gonna find you a brand new sky
sweet magnolia comin’ through the air
and daddy’s gonna take you there
baby, i promise i’ll take you there

Denice Franke: acoustic guitar and vocal
Mark Hallman: bass and electric guitar
