sing a little baby to sleep-Tom T Hall Şarkı Sözleri

too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
you're just a little baby boy six months old lying in your mama's lap
i'm sittin' here thinkin' of a song i could sing to get you to take a nap
you were born on the part of the river of life where the water is troubled and deep
this day and time there are not many songs to sing a little baby to sleep
too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
i search my mind for a proper subject to set down the reason and rhyme
and i got to thinking it might have been better to be born at some other time
i know you're tired and i know you're weary and i don't like to see you weep
but there just don't seem to be any songs going to sing a little baby to sleep
too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
i'll rock your cradle and your mama will croon that's all the comfort we know
you need a song you can keep on singing cause you've got a long way to go
faith writes the words and love writes the music and hope can establish the beat
your generation might know a song to sing a little baby to sleep
too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
