Down dip the branches

Down dip the branches,

The long leafy branches,

Down dip the branches

To bring old robin in.

Underneath the haytops,

The warm windy haytops,

Underneath the haytops

The mice are creeping home.

Soon it will be sunset,

Red and yellow sunset,

Soon it will be sunset,

With everything indoors.

Apples for supper,

Sing, sing for supper.

After, after supper,

Sing awhile in bed.

Mouse in the meadow,

The green sleepy meadow,

Mouse in the meadow,

Fold your little paws.

Robin in the branches,

The dark sleepy branches,

Old robin in the branches,

Shut, shut, shut your eyes.
