Sleep my pretty one sleep Lay down in your lambskin Now lay you down deep And I'll fold you in woolsey Down-soft don't you weep my lamb Sleep my pretty one, sleep
One ewe tomorrow true Two ewes aplenty Three oh how happy we Four nearly gentry Five how we favoured be Six trust to glory And seven the world is right Eight tells the story Nine we may prosper true Ten we can start anew
Sleep my pretty one sleep Lay down in your lambskin Now lay you down deep And I'll fold you in woolsey Down-soft don't you weep my lamb Sleep my pretty one Sleep my pretty one, Sleep
