    Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,
    When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,

Nursery Rhyme. CCCLXXXI. Lullabies.

    Dance, little baby, dance up high,
    Never mind, baby, mother is by;
    Crow and caper, caper and crow,
    There, little baby, there you go;
    Up to the ceiling, down to the ground.
    Backwards and forwards, round and round;
    Dance, little baby, and mother will sing,
    With the merry coral, ding, ding, ding!

    Dance to your daddy,
    My little babby,
    Dance to your daddy;

    You shall have a fishy
    When the boat comes in.

    Hush thee, my babby,
    Lie still with thy daddy,
        Thy mammy has gone to the mill,
    To grind thee some wheat,
    To make thee some meat,
        And so, my dear babby, lie still.
