Sleep, baby, sleep
Thy Father guards the sheep;
Thy mother shakes the dreamland tree,
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee,                  sleep, baby, sleep.

I'm so sorry for old Adam,
Just as sorry as can be:
For he never had no mammy
For to hold him on her knee.
For he never had no childhood,
Playin' round the cabin door,
And he nver had no daddy
For to tell him all he know.
And I've always had the feelin'
He'd a let that apple be,
If he'd only had a mammy  
  For to hold him on her knee.

Chicken in the bread-pan,
Pickin'up  the dough;
Granny will your dog bite? No, child, no

        There was an Old Woman
        Lived under a hill,
        And if she isn't gone
        She lives there still.

       Baked apples she sold
       And cranberry pies,
       And she's the old woman
       That never told lies.
