Sleep, My Child (Schlof Mayn Kind) Lyrics

Sleep my child, my sweet, my pretty one
Sleep my darling, sleep
Sleep my life, my sweet, my pretty one
Sleep my darling son
Sleep my darling son
By your cradle sits your mama
Sings a song and weeps
One day you will understand
Why your mama weeps
Why your mama weeps
Daddy's gone to America
Daddy's gone far away
He has left us here a-waiting
Sleep my darling babe
Sleep my darling babe
In that far off land they say
Everyone is blessed
In that far off land they say
Weary folk find rest
Weary folk find rest
He will send us twenty dollars
And his picture too
If he's living sure he'll fetch us
We'll start life anew
We'll start life anew
He will hug us, he will kiss us
He will jump for joy
I will stand there, stand there quietly
Tears will stream down
Tears will stream down
While we await his happy message
Sleep my darling do
Sleep my darling since you're little
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
Sleep my life, sleep my life
Sleep my darling son
