Sleep, my honey, sleep,
Night comes and shadows creep.
Don’ you fret no mo’,
The Lawd is smilin’ through the do’;
Hushabye, my baby, my dear, my baby dear,
Ol’ Man Moon is shinin’ clear,
Fo’ you.

Rest, my baby, rest,
All your dreams be blest;
Don’ you cry no mo’,
The Lawd is smilin through the do’.
Hushabye, my baby, my lil’ black lamb,
All I’se got, an’ all I am,
Is you.
