Lullaby Lyrics - Lullabies for Babies
Whether you had always envisaged yourself singing to your baby, or it was just something you started doing when you were trying to settle your baby or get them down to sleep, at some point we will have delve back into our childhood and try to remember the words to those lullabies our parents used to sing to us.
You spend a lot of time trying to settle a baby, so the songs you know get tired fast. To help you along the way I have tracked down the words and lyrics to a few old favourites lullabies. I personally love ‘Hush little baby don’t you cry”, mainly because it takes a while to sing...........
Hush Little Baby Don’t you cry lyrics (you can either use Mama or Dada)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a wagon and bull.
If that wagon and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
So hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy loves you and so do I.
Rock a bye baby lyrics
Rock-a-bye, baby
In 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
Baby is drowsing
Cosy and fair
Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings
From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep
Until morning light
Bye Bye Bunting lyrics
Bye baby bunting
Daddy's gone a'hunting
Mummy's gone a'milking
Sister's gone a'silking
Brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the baby bunting in
Teddy Bear go to sleep lyrics
Go to sleep, my Teddy Bear,
Close your little button eyes,
And let me smooth your hair.
It feels so soft and silky that,
I'd love to cuddle down by you,
So, Go to sleep, my darling Teddy Bear.
