Lyrics
Annie:
- 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
Trio: 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
Trio:
- And when it does
- From the mountain where he wuz
- He'll be coming with jug of moonshine
Annie:
- So count your sheep
- Mama's singing you to sleep
- With the Moonshine Lullaby
Kids:
- Dream of Pappy
- Very happy
- With his jug of mountain rye
Annie:
- So count your sheep
- Mama's singing you to sleep
- With the Moonshine Lullaby
