Jacob Ridgeway - Bullyman Lyrics

Hush little baby don't you cry
I didn't mean to give you a fright
We'll take you to a place
Where everything will be alright

You don't know where you're going
Won't know where you're from
You'll be lucky to hide or even run
But you're protected from this slum

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da

I'm just a baby they took away
Over the hills so far today
Don't know my family or where to look
I'm just a baby

That the Bullyman took away
That the Bullyman took away

We'll teach you how to read and write
Assimilate from dark to light
Your brothers and your sisters are somewhere else
To protect you from yourself

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Hush little baby, don't you cry
White mumma buy you a brand new life
We'll take you in
Your future's gonna be bright

A hard life full of trouble
Full of nothing but pain
Getting knocked down
But getting up again and again

I don't expect you to understand
I miss my family, I miss my land
I miss my childhood
I never had a chance to feel
Cause your protection was never real

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da

I'm just a baby they took away
Over the hills so far today
Don't know my family or where to look
I'm just a baby

That the Bullyman took away

That the Bullyman took away

That the Bullyman took away

That the Bullyman took away

Hush my babies don't you cry
Bullyman won't come 'round tonight
Mumma wont let her babies out of her
Sight
