An Indian Lullaby
(A HYMN)
Rock-a-by, rock-a-by, little brown baby.
Safe on the green branch so high,
Shut your bright black eyes and go
sleep, baby,
While the wood-wing sings, "Hush-
a -by-by."
Safe on the green branch so high,
Shut your bright black eyes and go
sleep, baby,
While the wood-wing sings, "Hush-
a -by-by."
"Hush-a-by-hush" 'tis the voice of
forest,
"Hush-a-by-hush "the leaves seem
to say,
"Hush-a-by-hush" sing the wild birds
in chorus,
Up in the tree tops so far, far away.
Rock-a-by, rock-a-by, swinging so
gently,
See, from the dark woods so cool and
so deep,
The little gray squirrel, the timid
brown rabbit
Are coming to see if papoose is
asleep.
Mother will watch by her little brown
baby,
Swinging aloft on the green branches
so high,
No harm can come to the little brown
baby
Hush-a-by, rock-a-by, hush-a-by-by.
