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.
