Mamma Will Rock You to Sleep.
Copyright, 1891, by Willis Woodward & Co.
Words and Music by Julian Jordan.
Come, come to mamma, my little one.
Flowers are closing, the long day is done;
Stars upon high are beginning to peep,
Mamma will rock you to sleep.
Tired little hands and tired little feet,
So tired of playing all day in the street;
Eyes, that so sleepy, scarce open can keep,
Mamma will rock you to sleep.
Refrain.
Close your eyes, darling, to dreamland we'll go,
Gently so gently we'll rock to and fro;
Now, while the shadows around softly creep,
Mamma will rock you to sleep.
Sleep, sleep my baby, mamma will sing,
Sing to you tenderly, slumber sweet to bring;
Singing and swinging, a loving watch to keep,
Mamma will rock you to sleep.
Tired little hands and tired little feet,
Tired is my baby, my baby so sweet;
Broad as the ocean, my love, and as deep.
Mamma will rock you to sleep.-Refrain.
