Kentucky Babe

Skeeters am a hummin'

On the honeysuckle vine

Sleep kentucky babe!



Sandman am a comin'

To this little child of mine

Sleep kentucky babe!



Silvery moon am a shinin'

On de heavens up above

Bobolink am pinin' for his little lady love . . .



You is might lucky

Babe of old kentucky

Close your eyes in sleep . . .

And fly away,

Fly away kentucky babe,

Fly away to rest, fly away,

Lay your curly woolly head

On your mammy's breast,

Hmm, hmmm, edah la da da dee

Close your eyes in sleep!
