Moonshine Lullaby song lyrics – performed in Annie Get Your Gun by Betty Hutton (and “siblings”), written by Irving Berlin
Behind the hill
There’s a busy little still
Where your Pappy’s workin’ in the moonlight
Your lovin’ paw
Isn’t quite within the law
So he’s hidin’ there behind the hill
Bye bye baby
Stop your yawnin’
Don’t cry baby
Day will be dawning
And when it does
From the mountain where he wuz
He’ll be coming with jug of moonshine
So count your sheep
Mama’s singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
Loo Loo
Behind the hill
There’s a busy little still
Where your Pappy’s workin’ in the moonlight
Your lovin’ paw
Isn’t quite within the law
So he’s hidin’ there behind the hill
Annie and Trio:
Bye bye baby
Stop your yawnin’
Don’t cry baby
Day will be dawning
And when it does
From the mountain where he wuz
He’ll be coming with jug of moonshine
So count your sheep
Mama’s singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
Dream of Pappy
Very happy
With his jug of mountain rye
So count your sheep
Mama’s singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
