"Sleep, Baby, Sleep" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

Sleep, baby, sleeping, close your proud eyes
Listen to your mother dear sing sweet lullabies

Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee-hee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee-hee

Sleep, baby, sleeping, angels watch over you
Listen to your mother dear while she sings to you

Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee-hee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ay-lee-oh-ah-lay-ee, ay-lee-oh-ah-lay-ee
Ay-lee-oh-lay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee-hee
