Lyrics

Sweet and low, Sweet and low,
Wind of the Western sea
Low, Low breathe and blow,
Wind of the Western sea

Over the rollling waters go,
Come from the dying moon and blow,
blow him again to me
While my little one, While my pretty one sleeps.

Sleep and rest, Sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon
Rest, Rest on Mother’s breast,
Father will come to thee soon

Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the silver moon
Sleep, my little one, Sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
