old song

My Grandmother used to sing "Listen to the Mocking Birds" while my mother played the piano in the 1930's. Can Anyone tell me where to get the music &/or lyrics? Thanks Jack Oz

I guess you are referring to Listen to the Mocking Bird, written by Septimus Winner under the pseudonym Alice Hawthorne and first published in April, 1855:

I'm dreaming now of Hally, sweet Hally, sweet Halley,
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
For the thought of her is one that never dies.
She's sleeping in the valley, the valley.
She's sleeping in the valley
And ther mockingbird is singing where she lies.

CHORUS: Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
The mockingbird is singing o'er her grave,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where the weeping willow waves,

Ah! well I yet remember, remember, remember,
Ah! Well I yet remember
When we gathered in the cotton by her side.
Twas in September, September, September,
Twas in September, and the mockingbird was singing far and wide.

Chorus...

When the charms of spring awaken, awaken, awaken
When the charms of spring awaken,
And the mockingbird is singing on the bough;
I feel like one forsaken, forsaken, forsaken,
I feel like one forsaken, since my Hally is no longer with me now.

Chorus...

Hope this helped.

Is it the song that says: "hush little baby, don't say a word, mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird, and if that mockingbird dont sing, mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring"?
