Won't you join me...?

Question

OK, here's what you need to do, put the title of your favorite lullaby and then the lyrics to it...please don't repeat someone else's, pick another one you like. Thanks so much in advance!!! Let's see how many people we can get to post a different lullaby

Here is mine:

La La Lu (Lady and the Tramp)

La la lu, La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I’ll sweep the stardust for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little soft fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings for tonight

La la lu, La la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu, La la lu, La la lu

Answer 1

There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companions.
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and glasses of beer.
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
as if maybe someone could hear:

Goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Now the first of December was covered with snow
and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting,
with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,
a song that they sing when they take to the sea,
a song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep,
but singing works just fine for me.

So, goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Answer 2

I've got two. :)

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horses

Blacks and bays
Pintos and grays
All the pretty little horses

Way down yonder
In the meadow
Poor little baby cryin' mama
Birds and butterflies
Flutter 'round his eyes
Poor little baby cryin' mama

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horses

Blacks and bays
Pintos and grays
All the pretty little horses

(second one)

Oh you are a mucky kid
Dirty as a dustbin lid
When he hears the things that you did
You’ll get a belt from your dad

Oh, you have your father’s nose
So crimson in the dark it glows
If you’re not asleep when the boozers close
You’ll get a belt from your dad

You look so scruffy lying there
Strawberry jam tufts in your hair
In all the world you haven’t a care
And I have got so many

It’s quite a struggle every day
Livin’ on your father’s pay
The bugger drinks it all away
And leaves me without any

Although you have no silver spoon
Better days are coming soon
Our Nelly’s working at the loom
And she gets paid on Friday

Perhaps one day we’ll have a splash
When Littlewoods provide the cash
We’ll get a house in Knotty Ash
And buy your dad a brewery

Oh you are a mucky kid
Dirty as a dustbin lid
When he hears the things that you did
You’ll get a belt from your dad

Oh you have your father’s face
You’re growing up a real hard case
But there’s no one can take your place
Go fast asleep for mommy

Answer 3

Golden Slumbers by the Beatles...

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Answer 4

Baby Mine from 'Dumbo'

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Answer 5

Its an old souther lullaby, I don't know the name;

'skeeters are a'hummin, on the honeysuckle vine
sleep, kentucky babe
Sandman is a commin' to that little lamb of mine
sleep, kentucky babe
silver moon is shining in the heavens up above
whipporwill is pining for his little lady love
you is might lucky, babe of old kentucky,fly away, fly away

fly away kentucky babe, fly away to rest
lay your heavy sleepy head upon yor momma's breast
silver moon is shining in the heavens up above
whiporwhill is pining for his little lady love
you is mighty lucky, babe of old kentucky, fly away, in dreams.
