Lyrics
Behind the hill there’s a busy little still
Where your Pappy’s working in the moonlight
Your lovin’ Paw isn’t quite within the law
So he’s hiding there behind the hill
Bye, Bye Baby, stop your yawning
Don’t cry Baby, day will be dawning
And when it does
From the mountain where he wuz
He’ll be coming with a jug of moonshine
So count your sheep
Mamma’s singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
Dream of Pappy, very happy
With his jug of mountain rye
So count your sheep
Mamma’s singing you to sleep
With the Moonshine Lullaby
