THE SANDMAN.
The sun is deep in the west, baby,
The little birds sleep in their nest, baby,
The cricket is singing a sleepy song,
And the Sandman is coming along.
The little birds sleep in their nest, baby,
The cricket is singing a sleepy song,
And the Sandman is coming along.
What does the Sandman bring baby?
What does the Sandman sing, baby?
Over the sea and over the land,
The Sandman brings thee two bags of sand.
What does the Sandman sing, baby?
Over the sea and over the land,
The Sandman brings thee two bags of sand.
O see how the grey sand flies, baby,
Straight in thy bonny blue eyes, baby,
'Tis sleep that the Sandman brings;
Now list what the Sandman sings.
Straight in thy bonny blue eyes, baby,
'Tis sleep that the Sandman brings;
Now list what the Sandman sings.
116
“O come to the land of dreams, baby,
I'll lead thee by flowing streams, baby,
We'll gather poppies 'mid waving corn
And ne'er come home, till the break of morn.”
I'll lead thee by flowing streams, baby,
We'll gather poppies 'mid waving corn
And ne'er come home, till the break of morn.”
