I was going to start a thread to ask for the lyrics of this song - and here it was already!!

My Dad used to sing me to sleep (in Perth, W.A.) with "Go To Sleep My Baby" - he was born in 1916 in Fremantle, Western Australia - but this is the fragment that I recall - SIMILAR to MMario's and Noreen's, yet not QUITE the same ...

"Go to sleep, my baby
Close those pretty eyes
Angels are above you
Peeking at you Dearie from the skies
Great big moon above you
Stars begin to peep
Time for little picaninnies to go to sleep
Picaninnies' time to go to sleep"

I can't recall if this was the whole of it or not, though ... (but I can IMAGINE Paul Robeson singing it ...) Is there any more??

Cheers! R-J
