Appalachian Lullaby

Well, I love my baby,
Sweet and fair:
You’ve got the sky in your eyes,
The sun in your hair.
I rock you to sleep most every night,
And sing you this song,
While I hold you tight.
Sleep, my baby,
The angels keep you from harm,
And your father above,
Cradles you in his love,
Safe and warm.
Sleep, my baby,
Nestled in your mama’s arms,
Sleep, my baby,
The angels keep you from harm.
My baby,
You’ll be sleeping soon,
Kissed by the golden stars and moon.
I have just one wish for you:
May your every dream come true.
Sleep, my baby,
The angels keep you from harm,
And your father above,
Cradles you in his love,
Safe and warm.
Sleep, my baby,
Nestled in your mama’s arms,
Sleep, my baby,
The angels keep you from harm.
Sleep, my baby,
Nestled in your mama’s arms,
Sleep, my baby,
The angels keep you from harm.
