Hush my darlin, hush my dear
Close your eyes your mama's here
Hush my darlin, hush my sweet
I will sing you off to sleep
If I could turn back time
Hush my darlin, hush my love
Hear the angels up above
Hush my darlin, should you weep
I will pray our souls to keep
If I could turn back time
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home tonight
Hush my darlin, hush my dear
Close your eyes your mama's here
Hush my darlin, should you weep
I will sing you off to sleep
If I could turn back time
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home tonight
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home tonight
Your papa would be coming home
Your papa would be coming home
But your papa he ain't coming home tonight
