(Sung as a traditional lullaby, softly)

Hush little baby, now don’t say a word
Daddy has gone with his spear and his sword
To fight for the homeland, for you and for me
In a distant land somewhere far over the sea

Hush little baby, now please don’t you cry
Mama will be coming home by and by
Back from the seaside where she goes to mourn
To wait for the ship that will never return

Hush little baby, asleep on my arm
I’ll always be here to keep you from harm
Daddy would want me to teach you to fight
The way of the hero, to live and to die

Hush little baby, your sleep be it long
We weep for our father, but yet we are strong
And we will avenge him, just you wait and see
I’ll grow up like him
And you grow up like me
