Baby’s boat the silver moon,
Sailing in the sky,
Sailing o’er the sea of sleep,
While the clouds float by.
Refrain:
Sail, baby sail,
Out upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail,
Back again to me.
Baby’s fishing for a dream,
Fishing near and far,
Her line a silver moonbeam is,
Her bait’s a silver star.
Refrain:
Sail, baby sail,
Out upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail,
Back again to me.
Baby’s boat’s the silver moon,
Sailing in the sky,
Sailing o’er the sea of sleep,
Whilst the clouds float by.
Sail, baby, sail,
Put upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail,
Back again to me!
Baby’s fishing for a dream,
Fishing near and far,
Her line a silver moonbeam is,
Her bait’s a silver star.
Sail, baby, sail,
Put upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail,
Back again to me!
