Sleep, baby, sleep,
Thy father is watching the sheep,
Thy mother is shaking the Dreamland Tree,
And down comes a little dream on thee,
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Sleep, baby, sleep,
The large stars are the sheep,
The little stars are the lambs, I guess,
The gentle moon is the shepherdess,
Sleep, baby, sleep.
