Hush now my baby
Close your eyes.
Momma does love you;
She knows all your cries.

Baby, sweet baby
Your momma has passed.
Momma has fallen.
How could she last?

Yes, now my baby,
I know your tears.
Momma does love you,
Keeps all your fears.

And although she’s fallen,
She knows baby’s cries.
Yes, baby, sweet baby
Please dry your eyes.

For as you now sleep,
Your momma does cry
For her wee baby
Where she fore'er lies.

And even through pain,
Through many lost tears,
Momma has loved you
Through all the years.

Yes, sleep now, my baby.
Yes, drift on along.
Yes, be my baby
And hear this song.

So when momma's baby
Is cold and alone
Remember your momma,
Remember your home.

And know that I’m watching
Over my baby dear.
Know that I love you
And I'll always be here.

Oh my dear one
As I pass on
Do not forget
This lullaby song.
