Lay down your head
and I'll sing you a lullaby
back to the years
of loo-li,lai-lay
I'll sing you to sleep
I'll sing you tomorrow
bless you with love
for the road that you go
May you sail fair
to the far field of fortune
with diamonds and pearls
at your head and your feet
may you need never
to banish misfortune
may you find kindness
in all that you meet
May there always be angels
to watch over you
to guide you each step of the way
to guard you and keep you
safe from all harm
looli-looli,lai-lay
May you bring love
may you bring happiness
be loved in return
to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep
I'll not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while
and sing looli-looli,lai-lay
