Irish Lullaby - Bill Douglas

Lullaby, lullaby

Sweet little baby

Don’t you cry

I’d rock my own sweet child to rest in a craddle of

Gold on a bough of the willow

To the shoheen ho of the wind of the west and

The lulla lo of the soft sea billow

Sleep, baby dear

Sleep without fear

Mother is here beside your pillow

I’d put my own sweet child to sleep in a silver boat

On the beautiful river

Where a shoheen whisper the white cascades, and

A lulla lo the green flags shiver

Sleep, baby dear

Sleep without fear

Mother is here with you forever
