I'm trying to locate a song that I heard years ago. If I'm not mistaken (which is certainly possible) it was on a Doc Watson recording.

It's in waltz time.

"Sleep, little baby, sleepy..." - those are the only lines I can recall, though I can produce a bit more of the melody. They may be the first lines of the first verse, or perhaps of the refrain.
