My mother sang this version of the Sandman to me in the 30's and I have taught it to all of my 5 children who now sing it to theirs. "The Sandman" Here Comes the Sandman Tripping so lightly He runs along on the tips of his toes He scatters the sand with his own little hand In the eyes of the sleepy children. Go to sleep, my Baby' Close your sleepy eyes The lonely moon is watching From out the darkened skies The little stars are peeping To see if you are sleeping. Go to sleep, my baby Close your sleepy eyes
