American Old Time Song Lyrics: 48 Go To Sleep Love

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 48

GO TO SLEEP LOVE.
Sung only by Mrs. Thoe. J. Ryan.

Close your eyes, my darling, do not weep,
But go to sleep, now go to sleep:
Loving watch o'er your cradle I will keep,
So go to sleep, love, go to sleep;
Your father's ship's now rocking on the deep,
So go to sleep, now go to sleep;
And the little stars they peep, while playing hide and seek.
And they twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, while they peep.

Chorus.
Close your eyes, darling, go to sleep, dear;
Don't be afraid, your Lena was here;
Close your eyes, darling, I'll watch over you,
Yu la he, yu lah he, oh,

In the morning when you open wide your eyes,
You must go to sleep now, go to sleep;
I have for you one very big surprise,
So go to sleep, love, go to sleep;
I know where a stick of candy lies,
So go to sleep now, go to sleep;
It is just your size, and if you're very wise.
You'll go to sleep and wake up with the flies.- Chorus.
