Rock a bye baby in the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
All through the night
Baby is drowsing, cozy and fair
Mother sits near in her rocking chair
Forward and back the baby she swings
Though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
All through the night
From high on the rooftops, down to the sea
No-one's as dear as baby to me
With wee little fingers and eyes so bright
Now sound asleep 'til the morning light
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
The cradle will rock and roll
All through the night
All through the night
