Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. Go to sleep, go to sleepy,
Go to sleepy little baby,
Hush li’l baby and don’t you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
2. Go to sleep, go to sleepy,
Go to sleepy little baby,
Mama and papa gone to the town,
Buy a pretty little pony.
3. Go to sleep, go to sleepy,
Go to sleepy little baby,
Catch a pony and saddle him up,
Ride all over this pasture.
