Rock a bye baby,
Hush, go to sleep.
Try not to find me,
For I am too weak.
Rock a bye baby,
Lay your head down.
Your strong little soldier
May not come around.
Rock a bye sweetheart,
Try not to cry.
Do not try to follow me,
For inside I’ve died.
Rock a bye honey,
Keep our sweet dream.
Wake yourself gently
At the first morning’s beam.
