Behind the hill

There's a busy little still

Where your pappy's workin' in the moonlight



Your lovin' pa

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 dawnin'



And when it does

From the mountain where he was

He'll be comin' with a jug of moonshine



So count your sheep

Mama's singin' you to sleep

With a moonshine lullaby



Dream of pappy

Very happy

With his jug of mountain rye



So count your sheep

Mama's singin' you to sleep

With a moonshine lullaby
