One of the oldest known lullabies in English, first published in 1765 in Mother Goose's Melody. Its gentle rocking rhythm mimics the motion of a cradle.
Full Lyrics
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all. Rock-a-bye baby, your cradle is green, Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen, And Betty's a lady who wears a gold ring, And Johnny's a drummer who drums for the king. Rock-a-bye baby, so still is the night, The stars are all twinkling, the moon shines bright, The birds and the bees and the babes are asleep, And over the beautiful dreamland we'll creep.
