Sleep Baby Sleep

Song Lyrics & Words

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Thy papa guards the sheep;
Thy mama shakes the dreamland tree
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee,
Sleep, baby, sleep,

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Our cottage vale is deep;
The little lamb is on the green,
With woolly fleece so soft and clean,
Sleep, baby, sleep,

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Down where the woodbines creep;
Be always like the lamb so mild,
A kind and sweet and gentle child,
Sleep, baby, sleep,

Additional verses:

Sleep baby sleep
The little stars are lambs, I guess
And the gentle moon the shepherdess
Sleep baby sleep.

Sleep baby sleep
Take care, black dog, thyself betake
And do not cause my bairn to wake
Sleep, baby sleep.

Different lyrics

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Thy father guards the sheep.
Thy mother shakes the dreamland tree,
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee,
Sleep, baby, sleep.

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Our cottage vale is deep.
The little lamb is on the green,
With snowy fleece so soft and clean,
Sleep, baby, sleep.
