Lullaby and Goodnight, with roses bedight
With Lilies o’er spread is baby’s wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumbers be blest
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumbers be blest
Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother’s delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shall wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shall wake on my breast
Guten Abend, gut’nacht! Mit Rosen bedacht
Mit naglein bestecht schlupf unter die Deck
Morgen fruh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder gewecht
Morgen fruh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder gewecht
Guten Abend, gut’nacht! Von Eglein bewacht
Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkinlein’s baum
Schlaf’ nun selig und suss, schau’ im Traum’s Paradies
Schlaf’ nun selig und suss, schau’ im Traum’s Paradies

All Through The Night
Listen now.
Sleep my child and peace attend thee
All through the night

Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my lonely vigil keeping
All through the night
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O’er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of the light revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night

John O’Dreams
Listen now.
When midnight comes and people homeward tread
Seek now your blanket and your featherbed
Home is the rover, his journey over
Yield up the nighttime to old John O’Dreams (2x)
Across the hill the sun has gone astray
Tomorrow’s cares are many dreams away
The stars are flying, your candle’s dying
Yield up the darkness to old John O’Dreams (2x)
Both man and master in the night are one
All creatures equal when the day is done
The prince and ploughman, servant and freeman
All find their comfort in old John O’Dreams (2x)
Now as you sleep the dreams come winging clear
The hawks of morning cannot harm you here
Sleep is a river, flow on forever
And for your boatman choose old John O’Dreams (2x)

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

A trader loved an Indian maiden
With treasures his canoe was laden

Oh Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you
Oh Shenandoah, I’ll not deceive you
For seven years I’ve been a rover
But I’ll return to be your lover
