lyrics

ROCK AND ROCK SWEET BABY LULLABY
Written by Barbara Ann Volatile, Music by Johnnie Volatile

Rock and rock sweet baby, in cradle so soft
Sweet breezes blow, your cradle rocks
A bird sings a song
You'll fall to sleep and for a short while
Dreamland deep

JESUS watches baby, while baby is asleep
He cradles him/her with His sweet love, His blessing from above
He loves him/her so and this we all do know

When baby awakens, all rested and anew
He/she wears a smile of peace content
From God above is sent
He's/she's had his/her nap for the day
And now it's time to play

I love baby, baby loves me
I love him/her, he/she loves me
And Jesus makes three

Now the day is ending
You played with toys and friends
It's time for bed, We'll say goodnight
Until the morning light.
Goodnight, baby goodnight.
