Why do people sing "Rock a bye baby" to their children at when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle to the ground?

Maybe because the melody is song sounds soothing, or to give there children comfort that there mom will be there to catch them in hard times "when the bough breaks the cradle will fall and mommy will catch you cradle and all".
