Children’s song, lullaby, U.S.A.
“All The Little Pretty Horses (Hush-a-bye)” is a traditional lullaby from the United States. The origin of this song is not fully known, although is commonly thought to be of African American origin. The lyrics talk about a mother or caretaker singing a baby to sleep and promising that when he or she awakes the child “shall have all the pretty little horses.” Many singers, like Joan Baez, Charlotte Church, Nick Cave, and others, recorded their version of the song. Aaron Copland composed an arrangement of “The Little Horses” for voice and piano as the second set of Old American Songs (1952).
All the Pretty Little Horses is a lullaby with a very lovely melody - SO EASY for your students, because three lines are just the same! Now with sheets to help play melody and chords simultaneously! Sheet music with guitar tabs, for beginner guitar players in three keys.
The song also inspired the title of the book All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, and consequently that of the 2000 film by Billy Bob Thornton, starring Matt Damon and Penélope Cruz.

“All The Little Pretty Horses (Hush-a-bye)” lyrics
1. Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry
Go to sleep, my little baby
When you wake, you shall have
All the pretty little horses
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays
Coach and six a little horses
Hush you bye, Don’t you cry
Go to sleep, little baby
When you wake, you shall have
All the pretty little horses
2. Way down yonder, in the meadow
poor little baby, crying mama.
Birds and the butterflies, flutter ’round his eyes,
little baby crying mama.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays
Coach and six a little horses
Hush you bye, Don’t you cry
Go to sleep, little baby
When you wake, you shall have
All the pretty little horses

“All The Pretty Little Horses” (also known as “Hush-a-bye“) is a traditional lullaby from the United States. It has inspired dozens of recordings and adaptations, as well as the title of Cormac McCarthy‘s 1992 novel All the Pretty Horses.
This version has been arranged with additional words and music by Andy Beck into a 2-Part Choir arrangement. It begins with the well known lullaby theme which quickly turns into a jazz waltz and more upbeat piece of music.
The origin of ‘All The Pretty Little Horses” is not fully known although the song is commonly thought to be of African-American origin
The author Lyn Ellen Lacy is often quoted as the primary source for the theory that suggests the song was “originally sung by an African American slave who could not take care of her baby because she was too busy taking care of her master’s child. She would sing this song to her master’s child”. However, Lacy’s book Art and Design in Children’s Books is not an authority on the heritage of traditional American folk songs, but rather a commentary on the art and design in children’s literature. Still some versions of “All the Pretty Little Horses” contain added lyrics that make this theory a possibility.
One such version of “All the Pretty Little Horses” is provided in Alan Lomax’s book American Ballads and Folksongs, though he makes no claim of the song’s African-American origins. “Way down yonder, In de medder, There’s a po’ lil lambie, De bees an’ de butterflies, Peckin’ out its eyes, De po’ lil lambie cried, “Mammy!”” Another version contains the lyrics “Buzzards and flies, Picking out its eyes, Pore little baby crying”. The theory would suggest that the lyrics “po’ lil lambie cried, “Mammy”” is in reference to the slaves who were often separated from their own families in order to serve their owners. However, this verse is very different from the rest of the lullaby, suggesting that the verse may have been added later or has a different origin than the rest of the song. The verse also appears in the song “Ole Cow” and older versions of the song “Black Sheep, Black Sheep”.
