Baby's Boat the Silver Moon Sailing in the Sky
This lullaby was originally called "The Slumber Boat".
Baby's Boat the Silver Moon Sailing in the Sky
Lullaby
Baby's boat the silver moon
Sailing in the sky
Sailing o'er the sea of sleep,
While the clouds float by.
(Chorus)
Sail, Baby, sail
Out upon that sea,
Only don't forget to sail
Back again to me.
Baby's fishing for a dream,
Fishing near and far,
His line a silver moonbeam is,
His bait a silver star.
(Chorus)
