Wow, I just sang this song to my 2yr old son, and my two month old daughter. My dad sang this to me as a child, and now both he and I sing it to my kids. I think my dad got it from his mother (he is in his 60's). There are soo many variations, but what a great little gift to pass down.

Go to sleep my baby close your pretty eyes angels up above you watching from the sky. The great big moon is shining the stars begin to peep and now's it's time for little babies to go to sleep

Go to sleep my little piccannie briar fox will catch you if you don't. Underneath the bosom of your old nanna jinny Ado ado ado ado a dilly underneath the silvery moon hush a bye lullaby daddy's little choochie pie, and mamma's little alabama coo.
