Rock-a-bye Baby, Thy Cradle Is Green
Rock-a-bye Baby, Thy Cradle Is Green
Nursery Song
Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green,
Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen,
And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring,
And Johnny's* a drummer, and drums for the king.
Notes
*One version that comes from Harry's Ladder to Learning (published in 1850) uses the name Harry here instead.
