'"Moonshine Lullaby"' is a song from the 1946 musical 'Annie Get Your Gun', by Irving Berlin. It was first performed by Ethel Merman. Other singers to have recorded the song include Bernadette Peters in 1999, Doris Day, and Mary Martin in 1957. The song itself is considered a lullaby, but the lyrics are about a still where moonshine is brewed illegally.

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 '

: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 '

: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
