Hush-a-by Baby...


Hush-a-by baby, do not fear,

Sleep little one, mama is here.


Velvet is the gentle night,

In the dark, the stars gleam;

The Moon with her silver light,

Will bring you a lovely dream.


Hush-a-by baby, dry that tear,

Sleep little one, mama is here.


Do not rustle loudly in the trees,

Nor through the leaves sweep;

Dear wind, be a gentle breeze,

Till my little one falls asleep.


Hush-a-by baby, do not peer,

Sleep little one, mama is here.


Gently the cradle, I do rock,

Softly letting it swing;

Unmindful of moving clock,

Sleep, 'til morning bells ring.


Hush-a-by baby, this song do hear,

Sleep little one, mama is here.


Hush you, owl on the tree,

Crickets, chirp softly, please;

My baby sleeps, let her be,

Nestled in dreams and ease


Hush-a-by baby, hush-a-by dear,

Sleep little one, mama is here.
