Oh hush thee, my baby The night is behind us And black are the waters that sparkled so green The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us At rest in the hollows that rustle between Where billow meets billow Then soft be thy pillow Ah weary wee flipperling Is curled at thy ease The storm shall not wake thee Nor shark overtake thee Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging sea Where billow meets billow Then soft by thy pillow Ah weary wee flippering Is curled at thy knees The storm shall not wake thee Nor shark overtake thee Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas
