The song

Francis Alan Jackson

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,

Smiles awake you when you rise:

Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby,

Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;

You are care and care must keep you:

Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby:

Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
