The title says it all. Bring tissues for this one. (with Megan Irvine on violin)
Hush sweet my baby
That’s only the thunder if thunder came from an airplane Your crying won’t wake the neighbors
Nothing will wake them again
Hush sweet my baby
though Daddy lies in a big hole with the thousands
and the doctor won’t come to see you
He’s down in there with all of them
And I hope you don’t remember this when you grow up
I hope you don’t remember this when you grow up
I hope you don’t remember this when you grow up
but for now I just hope that you grow up
Hush sweet my baby
That’s only hard rain if rain had a trigger
and the little holes in the walls
let us see through outside and who’s there
Hush sweet my baby
It’s elephants on parade rolling through the streets
and someday the soldiers will leave us
So hush you my baby and sleep
