Sleep baby, sleep
Thy father watches the sheep
Thy mother shakes the dreamland tree
And down drops the sweetest dreams for thee
Sleep baby, sleep
Sleep baby, sleep
The large stars are the sheep
The little stars are the lambs, I guess
The bright moon is the shepherdess
Sleep baby, sleep
Sleep baby, sleep
Down where wildflowers creep
Be always like a lamb so wild
A kind and sweet and gentle child
Sleep baby, sleep
