GUEST,Trevor in Switzerland Lyr Req: Go to Sleep My Baby / Wyoming Lullaby (152* d) RE: Lyr Req: Go to Sleep My Baby / Wyoming Lullaby 08 Mar 08


Here's the version that my Mother sang to me in England when I was very small in the late 1930s:

Go to sleep, my baby
Close your pretty blue eyes
Angels are above you
Looking down to say "I love you"
Great big moon is shining
Stars begin to peep
Time for little piccaninnies
To go to sleep.

And even nowadays if I can't get to sleep I let it run through my head and imagine that I am in that room where I used to hear it nearly seventy years ago. The soothing effect remains undiminished!
