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.
