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
