Lullaby
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Little shoes are kept at the gateway of heaven, And all the tattered little angels are given. Slumber my darling, slumber my dearie, Slumber my darling sweetly. God will guard the children so peacefully sleeping, God will help the mothers their loving watch keeping. Slumber my darling, slumber my dearie, Slumber my darling sweetly.
