Lyrics:
Little baby, go to sleep,
While the sun is setting low;
Angels watch thy slumbers deep,
As the shadows come and go.
Little darling, Pretty baby!
Go to slumber deep;
Day is done and night has come,
Softly steal away to sleep!
chorus:
Then go to sleep, my little baby girl,
Go to sleep, my little precious pearl;
Let me twine thy little bonnie curl,
And kiss my darling sweet goodnight!
Ley he o,
Ley ye o, ho, ho o, Ley ye o, ho, ho,
Ley ye o, ho, ho o, Ley ye o!
Ley ye o, ho, ho o, Ley ye o, ho, ho,
Ley ye o, ho, ho ho, ho, o!
Little baby, sweetly dream!
Birds are in each downy nest;
Stars above will softly beam,
While the Angels guard thy rest!
Little darling, Pretty baby!
Shadows 'round thee creep;
Close thine eyes till morning skies,
Wake thee from thy gentle sleep!
Little baby, close thine eyes!
Rest in slumbers pure and bright;
Angels from the starry skies,
Bring the visions of delight.
Little darling, Pretty baby!
Watch I'll fondly keep;
Bird and rose now seek repose,
Pretty rosebud go to sleep!
