Sing along with Abi:
Rock a baby bye
On the tree chalk
When the baby falls
It's time to go to bed.
I'm guessing she's heard the original at daycare because I sing:
Rock a bye, baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough bends
The cradle will sway
So sleep ______ (darling/pretty baby/ Abi - or whatever I insert)
Sleep until day/through the day (depending on nap or bedtime song)
I also sing a verse I made up entirely:
Rock a bye, baby
Out on the sea
When the waves roll
They'll lull you to sleep
When the waves break
Upon a new shore
You'll rest/dream/nap on the beach
Listening to the sea roar.
I avoid the cradle-falling original verse. It's too violent for me. Honestly, why would I want to sing about my baby falling??
Perhaps I shall post later about our other lullabies.
