lyrics
Cradle Song has many variations on the lyric. Here is one popular version:
Lullaby and good night
With roses bedight
With lilies o'er spread
Is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and good night
Thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside
My darling abide
They will guard thee at rest
Thou shalt wake on my breast
The eldest daughter of this site's music producer used to sing the opening lyric as "rock-a-guy, and na-night", but this version is unlikely to become popular in the near term.
