Moonshine Lullaby

"Moonshine Lullaby" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun, by Irving Berlin. It was first performed by Ethel Merman.[1] (It was not used in the 1950 film version.) Other singers to have recorded the song include Bernadette Peters in 1999,[2] Doris Day,[3] and Mary Martin in 1957.[4] The song itself is considered a lullaby, but the lyrics are about a still where moonshine is brewed illegally.[5]
