Wink'em, blink'em, shut your eye
While I sing a lullaby
For the night is almost here
Stars are flickering so near
And the moon is peeping over
Yonder hilltop, capped with clover
Chickens long have gone to rest
Birds lie snug within their nest
And my baby soon will be
Sleeping like a chickadee
For with only half a try
Wink'em, blink'em, shut your eye
