Rock-a-bye, baby, Thy cradle is green,
Father’s a nobleman Mother’s a queen;
And Betty’s a lady And wears a gold ring;
And Johnny’s a drummer And drums for the king.

Kum-bah-yah, my Lord, Kum-bah-yah.
Oh, Lord, Kum-bah-yah.

Someone’s singin’, Lord, Kum-bah-yah . . .
Someone’s laughin’, Lord, Kum-bah-yah . . .

All Through the Night
Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, All through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee, All through the night.
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and vale in slumber sleeping.
I, my loving vigil keeping, All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping, All through the night.
While the weary world is sleeping, All through the night.
O’er thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night.
Sweet and Low
Sweet and low, sweet and low, Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow, Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waves we go, Come from the dying moon and blow,
Blow him again to me; While my little one, my pretty one, Sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest, Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother’s breast, Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest, Silver sails all out of the west
Under the silver moon; Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, Sleep.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
Weary travelers in the dark, Thank you for your little spark.
Who could see which path to go, If you did not twinkle so?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
