Lyrics Irish Lullaby - Bill Douglas

Irish Lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby
Sweet little baby
Don’t you cry
I’d rock my own sweet child to rest in a craddle of
Gold on a bough of the 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
I’d put my own sweet child to sleep in a silver boat
On the beautiful river
Where a shoheen whisper the white cascades, and
A lulla lo the green flags shiver
Sleep, baby dear
Sleep without fear
Mother is here with you forever
