GO TO SLEEP MY BABY GIRL.
Copyright, 1885, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words and Music by M. H. Rosenfeld.
Little baby, go to sleep
While the sun is setting low;
Angels watch thy slumbers deep
As the shadows come and go.
Little darling, pretty baby,
Go to slumber deep;
Day is done and night has come,
Softly steal away to sleep.
Chorus.
Then go to sleep, my little baby girl,
Go to sleep, my little precious pearl;
Let me twine thy little bonnie curl,
x And kiss my darling sweet good-night.
Ley he o, ley ye o, ho, ho o,
Ley ye o, ho so, ley ye o,ho, ho, o;
Ley ye o, ley ye o, ho, ho o,
Ley ye o, ho, ho, ley ye o, ho, ho, ho, ho, o.
Little baby, sweetly dream,
Birds are in each downy nest;
Stars above will softly beam
While the angels guard thy rest.
Little darling, pretty baby,
Shadows 'round thee creep;
Close thine eyes till morning skies
Wake thee from thy gentle sleep.-Chorus.
Little baby, close thine eyes,
Rest in slumbers pure and bright;
Angels from the starry skies
Bring the visions of delight.
Little darling, pretty baby,
Watch I'll fondly keep;
Bird and rose now seek repose,
Pretty rose-bud, go to sleep.-Chorus.
