When my sister and I were small the main ones were lullabies. Either 'rockaby baby', or my favorite, which was 'Go to sleep my baby close your weary eyes Angels up above you Peeping at you deary from the skies Great big moon is shining Stars begin to peep So close your eyes my picaninie And go to sleep.'

My brother always asked for 'Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me with your musket fife and drum?'
