| For your lady, something sweet, | |
| A lullaby before she sleeps, | |
| And if your lady should awake, | |
| You'll hold he in your arms again, again. | |
| For your children, something sweet, | |
| A lullaby before they sleep, | |
| And if your children should awake, | |
| You'll hold them in your arms again, again. | |
| It soon will be morning, | |
| It soon will be morning again. | |
| For your good self, something sweet, | |
| A lullaby before you sleep, | |
| And if you still should awake, | |
| Then you will see the break of day, | |
| Again, again, again, again. |
