[Verse 1] Once there was a way To get back homeward Once there was a way To get back home [Chorus] Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles await you when you rise Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby [Verse 2] Once there was a way To get back homeward Once there was a way To get back home [Chorus] Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby
