Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
If the bow breaks, the cradle will fall
But mama will catch you cradle and all
Baby is drowsy, cosy and fair
Mother sits near in her rocking chair
Forward and back the cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps he hears what she sing
Hush-a-bye baby up in the sky
On a soft cloud it's easy to fly
Angles keep watch over as you sleep
So hush-a-bye baby don't make a peep
Rock-a-bye baby do not you fear
Never mind baby mother is near
Wee little fingers eyes are shut tight
Now sound asleep until morning light
