I don't know if this would be the same as what you're looking for .

Rock the cradle Lucy, rock the cradle by, Rock the cradle Lucy, don't let the baby cry.

Rock the cradle Lucy, Rock the cradle long, Rock the cradle Lucy and keep the baby warm.

The tune I know this from would by somewhat similar to Soldiers Joy.

I was going to respond pretty much in the same vein, but Barry got it done first. Gid Tanner and the Skilletlickers had a recording of Rock That Cradle, Lucy.

The old-time musicians I know tend to use lyrics sparsely, and all I've ever heard then sing, at the ends of the lines of music, are:

Rock that cradle, Joe Rock it good and slow

Hope somebody else has more . . .
