Sleep, my little baby, close to Mama,
Hush-a-bye, my dear!
Hush-a-bye, my dear!

While I rock-a-bye your little cradle,
In the moonlight oh, so clear.
Songs I will sing and all the tales I'll tell you,

That I know you love so much to hear;
Close your little eyes, like the blue of heaven,
Hush-a-baby-bye, my dear.

Good night, good night!
