Sleep, Baby, Sleep

Sleep, baby, sleep.
Close your eyes and just you sleep.
Rest, baby, rest.
Close your eyes and just you rest.
For your mammy done work hard all day,
She ain't even had time to kneel down and pray.
And your daddy, he done gone away,
But never you mind chile -- He'll be back some day.
So -- sleep, baby, sleep.
Close your eyes and just you sleep.

I feed my rooster on Tenderleaf Tea.
My little rooster goes cock-a-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-do.

I feed my doggie on Tenderleaf Tea.
My little doggie goes bow-wow-wow.
My little rooster goes cock-a-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle-do.
