Baloo My Boy |
Baloo, my boy, lie still and sleep |
It grieves me sore to hear thee weep |
If thou’lt be silent I’ll be glad |
Thy moaning makes my heart full sad |
Baloo, my boy, thy mother’s joy |
Thy father bred me great annoy |
Baloo, baloo, baloo, baloo |
Baloo, baloo, lu-li-li-lu |
O’er thee I keep my lonely watch |
Intent thy lightest breath to catch |
O, when thou wak’st to see thee smile |
And thus my sorrow to beguile |
Baloo, my boy, thy mother’s joy |
Thy father bred me great annoy |
Baloo, my boy, lie still and sleep |
It grieves me sore to hear thee weep |
Twelve weary months have crept away |
Since he, upon thy natal day |
Left thee and me, to seek afar |
A bloody fate in doubtful war |
Baloo, my boy, lie still and sleep |
It grieves me sore to hear thee weep |
If thou’lt be silent, I’ll be glad |
Thy moaning makes my heart full sad |
I dreamed a dream but yesternight |
Thy father slain in foreign fight |
He, wounded, stood beside my bed |
His blood ran down upon thy head |
He spoke no word, but looked on me |
Bent low, and gave a kiss to thee! |
Baloo, baloo, my darling boy |
Thou’rt now alone thy mother’s joy |
