| Sleep, baby sleep, Your father tends the sheep. Your mother shakes the dreamland tree And from it falls sweet dreams for thee, Sleep, baby sleep. Sleep, baby sleep. Sleep, baby sleep, Our stars are the sheep. The little lamb is on the green With snowy fleece so soft and clean Sleep, baby sleep Sleep, baby sleep Dream, Baby dream, The robin sings in the tree. The stars, the robin and the sheep, They guard and keep you in your sleep Dream, Baby dream Sleep baby sleep
