Lyrics
Well I'm going to Brownsville, gonna take that right hand road Well I'm going to Brownsville, gonna take that right hand road Well I won't stop walkin' till I'm at sweet daddy's door The man I'm loving, he's got great, long, curly hair Said the man I'm loving's got great, long, curly hair Well, my mama and my pa they sure don't allow me there I got a letter from my baby, this is the way it read I got a letter from my baby, this is the way it read: "Come on home little girl, fill up your old man's bed" Well, I'm going to Brownsville, gonna take that right hand road Said I'm going to Brownsville, gonna take that right hand road Well I won't stop walking till I'm at sweet daddy's door Can't stop Keep on walkin' Well I'm goin' home Don't you say a word Mama don't you cry Don't say a word Oh mockingbird... Hush little baby don't you cry Mama gonna sing you a lullaby Said hush little baby don't you say a word Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird You know if that mockingbird don't sing Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring (2x) If that diamond ring don't shine Papa gonna be my valentine. (2x) Said if that diamond ring is bra** Papa's gonna buy you a looking gla** (2x) If that looking gla** gets broke Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat (2x) If that billy goat run away Papa's gonna buy you another one... another one. (2x) Now if that billy goat don't stay Papa's gonna buy you a Chevrolet (Papa's gonna buy me a Cadillac) Mockingbird, said mockingbird, (2x) You can hear him sing Mockingbird, it can do almost anything I can hear him whistle, I can hear him shout It can tell you, tell you what it's all about Mockingbird, you can hear him sing Mockingbird, you can hear him shout You can hear him cry Sometimes in the middle of the night When you're all alone in the darkness No-one else around you, for miles and miles Lonesome and everything is still Oh yeah, can you hear him, out in the distance Out in the darkness, I can hear him calling I can hear him cry, I can hear him calling You can hear him calling to you Oh oh, yeah, yeah, said mockingbird, mockingbird You can hear him whistle, You can hear him shout You can hear him cry Said mockingbird, said mockingbird, said mockingbird
