Baa Baa Black Sheep
Traditional English Lullaby first printed in Tommy Thumb’s Pretty Song Book

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, three bags full
One for the master, One for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, three bags full

Hush Little Baby
Author Unknown

If that mockingbird don’t sing,
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat won’t pull,
Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over,
Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won’t bark, Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down, You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town
Hush little baby don’t say a word.
Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird

Brahms Lullaby
Written by: Johannes Brahms

Lullaby and good night,
With roses bedight
With lilies o’er spread
Is baby’s wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, May thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and goodnight,
Thy mother’s delight,
Bright angels beside
My darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, Thou shalt wake on my breast

Rock-a-bye Baby
Traditional English Lullaby, AuthorUnknown

Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
