Cady's Lullaby (Gay Lea Thomas)

I'll sing a lullaby, lu lie lullay
Lu lie lullay, lu lie lullay
I'll sing a lullaby, lu lie lullay
While I sing, sleep, sleep

I can't sew seams, I can't quilt or crochet
Quilt or crochet, quilt or crochet
I can't sew seams, I can't quilt or crochet
So I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I can't draw pictures or paint like Monet
Paint like Monet, paint like Monet
I can't draw pictures or paint like Monet
So I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I can't play études, can't strum or plié
Strum or plié, strum or plié
I can't play études, can't strum or plié
So I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I'll say a prayer for your nights and your days
Nights and your days, nights and your days
I'll say a prayer for your nights and your days
And I'll sing, sleep, sleep

Your cousins will visit whenever they may
Ever they may, ever they may
Your cousins will visit whenever they may
And I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I'll take you to bull creek and watch as you play
Watch as you play, watch as you play
I'll take you to bull creek and watch as you play
And I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I'll tell you stories and make you kool-aid
Make you kool-aid, make you kool-aid
I'll tell you stories and make youkool-aid
And I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I'll buy you presents and Paw-paw will pay
Paw-paw will pay, Paw-paw will pay
I'll buy you presents and Paw-paw will pay
And I'll sing, sleep, sleep

I'll do almost anything that you say,
Thing that you say, thing that you say,
I'll do almost anything that you say,
If you'll sleep, sleep, sleep.

So sleep, my sweet baby, until the new day,
'Til the new day, 'til the new day,
Sleep, my sweet baby, until the new day,
While I sing, sleep, sleep.
