Rock-A-Bye Baby is a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme and lullaby. The melody is a variant of the English satirical ballad "Lillibullero". This song first appeared in "My Family's Just Right For Me".
Lyrics[]
- Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,
- When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
- When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
- And down will come baby, cradle and all.
- Baby is drowsing, cozy and fair,
- Mother sits near, in her rocking chair.
- Forward and back the cradle she swings,
- And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings.
- From the high rooftops, down to the sea,
- No one's as dear as baby to me.
- Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright,
- Now sound asleep until morning light.
