Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rock All Our Babies to Sleep (J Rodgers)
Here is the similar song from my Lancashire Dad played on the piano and sung to us as children in 1943

I'm just 45 and got a dear wife,
who's just ten years younger than me
she's full of enjoyment and plenty of fun
and often goes out on the spree.

She leaves me behind the baby to mind
the house in good order to keep

The fire shining bright I'm singing all night
whilst rocking the baby to sleep.
