The Lawd is smilin' through the do’

Sleep, my honey, sleep,

Night comes and shadows creep.

Don' you fret no mo',

The Lawd is smilin' through the do';

Hushabye, my baby, my dear, my baby dear,

Ol' Man Moon is shinin' clear,

Fo' you.

Rest, my baby, rest,

All your dreams be blest;

Don' you cry no mo',

The Lawd is smilin through the do'.

Hushabye, my baby, my lil' black lamb,

All I'se got, an' all I am,

Is you.
