Rocking
Language: English
Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, Do not stir; We will lend a coat of fur, We will rock you, rock you, rock you: See the fur to keep you warm, Snugly round your tiny form, tiny form. Mary's little baby, sleep, Sweetly sleep, Sleep in comfort, slumber deep; We will rock you, rock you, rock you: We will serve you all we can, Darling, darling little man, little man. We will rock you we will rock you. Ah, sleep!
