Lullaby
      Lulla—lulla—bye—oh!
      Shut that little eye oh!
Tuck that little drowsy head into its little nest.
      Lulla—lulla—bye—oh!
      Baby go to bye oh!
Of all the pleasant things I know, sure slumber is the best.

      Lulla—lulla—lay—oh!
      Where's the yellow day oh?
Gone to sleep upon its rosy pillows in the west,
      Lulla—lulla—lay—oh!
      Baby knows the way oh!
That leads along a dreamy path into a land of rest.

      Lulla—lulla—bye—oh!
      Mother still is nigh oh!
Mother's song is just a prayer to Heaven's high gate addressed.
      Lulla—lulla—bye—oh!
      May God hear her cry oh!
And keep the little soul for ever innocent and blest.
