The Baby Rag 1917

You've heard them sing
all of their rag songs,
excepting the Baby Rag,
All kinds of songs
about father and mother,
or else it's a song 'bout a flag.
But I have a lullaby simple and plain,
and mother will sing it
again and again.

Hush a bye my baby
don't you dare to cry!
Clap your hands
and Daddy will come to you
bye and bye.
You've got the nicest Daddy,
though I don't like to brag
Didy, Didy,
dideldeidelde
That's the Baby Rag.

Hush a bye my baby
don't you dare to cry!
Clap your hands
and Daddy will come to you
bye and bye.
You've got the nicest Daddy,
though I don't like to brag
Didy, Didy,
dideldeidelde
That's the Baby Rag.

Last night I was walking the baby
and singing a lullaby,
I found a tack
that was so nice and shiny,
pointing right up to the sky,
I started singing a different song,
and baby just harmonized
all the night long.

Hush a bye my baby
don't you dare to cry!
Clap your hands
and Daddy will come to you
bye and bye.
You've got the nicest Daddy,
though I don't like to brag
Didy, Didy,
dideldeidelde
That's the Baby Rag.

Hush a bye my baby
don't you dare to cry!
Clap your hands
and Daddy will come to you
bye and bye.
You've got the nicest Daddy,
though I don't like to brag
Didy, Didy,
dideldeidelde
That's the Baby Rag.
