I used to beg my mother to sing Barbry Ellen at bedtime; it was a good long one and I loved the part at the end about the rose and briar true-love's knot. Mostly she sang "Summertime" to me and "Mighty Like A Rose" to my brother as babies. My nephew always favored "Morningtown" and Jean Ritchie's "Bluebird Song". Almost makes me long for a little one to croon to.
