Lyrics
Little baby, can’t you hear the call
Of the Sandman, while the shadows fall
Let him lead you by the hand
Into drowsy slumberland
Soon the morning will be on its way
To my baby with a brand new day
Go to sleep, my dear, while I
Sing a tender lullaby
Chorus
Rockabye Baby, hush a-bye dear
Slumber my sweetheart, mother is near
Dreaming of baby, all of the night
Planning a future, rosy and bright
Dollies and schoolbooks waiting for you
Beautiful dresses, wedding bells, too
Plenty of sunshine crowning each year
Rockabye baby, hush a-bye dear
Performance
