Sleep, Baby, Sleep

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.

    A variant:

    Sleep, baby, sleep
    Your father tends the sheep
    Your mother shakes the dreamland tree
    And from it fall sweet dreams for thee
    Sleep, baby, sleep
    Sleep, baby, sleep

    Sleep, baby, sleep
    Our cottage vale is deep
    The little lamb is on the green
    With snowy fleece so soft and clean
    Sleep, baby, sleep
    Sleep, baby, sleep
