BASIC 2

OPENER

Circle Left
Hush-a-bye hard times, go ye away
My hungry baby wants a gingerbread cake
Left Allemande, come back DoSaDo
Men Star Left turn it one time you know
Well, Turn Thru and now and Left Allemande
Swing with your girl, Promenade that old land
There's a wolf at the door with an angry, cold, hungry stare
Howling of hard times and cupboards are bare

FIGURE

Head 2 you Square Thru 4 hands you go
DoSaDo, it’s one time you know
Swing Thru and then, Boys Run Right
Couples Circulate, Chain down the Line
Pass the Ocean, All 8 Circulate
Swing your corner, Promenade with your date
There's a wolf at the door with an angry, cold, hungry stare
Howling of hard times, (cupboards are bare)

MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left
Hush-a-bye hard times go ye to rest
My ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress

Left Allemande, come back DoSaDo
Men Star Left turn it one time you know
Well, Turn Thru and now and Left Allemande
Swing with your girl, Promenade that old land
There's a wolf at the door with an angry, cold, hungry stare
Howling of hard times and cupboards are bare

CLOSER

Circle Left

Hush-a-bye hard times, try to be fair
She wants some silver bows to help hold her hair

Left Allemande, come back DoSaDo
Men Star Left turn it one time you know
Well, Turn Thru and now and Left Allemande
Swing with your girl, Promenade that old land
There's a wolf at the door with an angry, cold, hungry stare
Howling of hard times and cupboards are bare

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more

Oh hush a bye hard times, go ye away
Cause my hungry baby wants a Gingerbread Cake
Not a cow in the barn yard no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen

So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry
Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare

Oh, hush a bye hard times go ye to rest
Cause my ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes with buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows for her golden hair

So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry
Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare

So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry
Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare

Hush a bye hard times go ye away
I don't intend to be treated this way

So, hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more
