Sing A Little Baby To Sleep — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

Too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
You`re just a little baby boy six months old lying in your mama`s lap
I`m sittin` here thinkin` of a song I could sing to get you to take a nap
You were born on the part of the river of life where the water is troubled and deep
This day and time there are not many songs to sing a little baby to sleep
Too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
I search my mind for a proper subject to set down the reason and rhyme
And I got to thinking it might have been better to be born at some other time
I know you`re tired and I know you`re weary and I don`t like to see you weep
But there just don`t seem to be any songs going to sing a little baby to sleep
Too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
I`ll rock your cradle and your mama will croon that`s all the comfort we know
You need a song you can keep on singing cause you`ve got a long way to go
Faith writes the words and love writes the music and hope can establish the beat
Your generation might know a song to sing a little baby to sleep
Too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
