Sleep, baby, sleep,
     Thy papa guards the sheep;
     Thy mama shakes the dreamland tree
     And from it fall sweet dreams for thee,
     Sleep, baby, sleep,.
     Sleep, baby, sleep,
     Our cottage vale is deep;
     The little lamb is on the green,
     With woolly fleece so soft and clean,
     Sleep, baby, sleep,.
     Sleep, baby, sleep,
     Down where the woodbines creep;
     Be always like the lamb so mild,
     A kind and sweet and gentle child,
     Sleep, baby, sleep,.
