GUEST,George Lyr Req: Baby sleeping in thy cradle (P Robeson) (12) Lyr Add: LULLABY (from Paul Robeson) 18 Sep 11

I googled the lyrics to the song, and this thread came up! I know it's super old, but for anyone else that might happen upon this thread in the future, here is what I was able to put together lyrics wise:


LULLABY
as sung by Paul Robeson on "Live at Carnegie Hall, 1958"

Baby sleeping, in thy cradle swinging,
Rocking gently by thy mother's hand.
Peaceful slumber, rest is bringing.
Dreams shall waft thee on to Slumberland.

Baby sleeping, thou my only treasure.
On thy pillow rest secure and warm.
All blessings, all thy pleasures
Shall be gathered in your mother's arms.

Schlafe, schlafe, holder, süßer Knabe,
Leise wiegt dich deiner Mutter Hand;
Sanfte Ruhe, milde Labe
Bringt dir schwebend dieses Wiegenband
