Tom T. Hall - Sing A Little Baby To Sleep lyrics

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
