Irish Lullaby
I'd rock my own sweet childie to rest
in a cradle of gold on a bough of de willow,
to the shoheen ho of the wind of the west
and the lulla lo of the soft sea billow.
Sleep, baby dear.
Sleep, without fear.
Mother is here beside your pillow.
Sleep, baby dear.
Sleep, without fear.
Mother is here beside your pillow.
I'd put my own sweet childie to sleep
in a silver boat on the beautiful river,
where a shoheen ho whisper the white cascades,
and a lulla lo the green flags shiver.
Sleep, baby dear.
Sleep, without fear.
Mother is here with you for ever.
Sleep, baby dear.
Sleep, without fear.
Mother is here with you for ever.
