The sun has gone from the shining skies
Bye, baby, bye
The dandelions have closed their eyes

Bye, baby, bye
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
The babes and squirrels and birds and bees

Are sound asleep as they ought to be
Bye, baby, bye.


The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray
Bye, baby, bye
'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away

Bye, baby, bye
The robin's home is a nest o'erhead
The bees, they nest in a hive instead

My baby's nest is her little bed
Bye, baby, bye.
