Lyr Req: Lord blow the moon out please

My mother used to sing a lullaby. The only words that stick in my memory are:

I have no roof to cover my head. Sing me a lullaby of trees. Tuck a cloud up under my chin. Lord, blow the moon out, please.

Anyone know the rest of it?

The only verses in Rise Up Singing are:

Bed is too small for my tiredness
Give me a hilltop with trees
Tuck a cloud up under my chin
Lord, blow the moon out -- please!

Rock me to sleep in a cradle of dreams
Sing me a lullabye of leaves
Tuck a cloud up under my chin
Lord, blow the moon out -- please!
