Rock-a-bye, Baby On the tree-top When the wind blows The cradle will rock And when the bow breaks The cradle will fall So down, down, down, down Down will come, Baby Cradle and all I gave you my kisses Right from the start I gave you my true love For I wasn't smart But you took advantage And broke my heart An' down, down, down, down Down went my soul An' you threw away my heart Don't make me cry for you Don't make me die for you I never thought it'd be like this But in the end you see You took the best of me So down with all Down came my heart You learned to love me Much too late Offered me kisses I wouldn't take When the wind blew You saw me fall So down, down, down, down Down will come, Baby Cradle and all
