Everyone should know this lullaby. I remember it when I was younger, my mom says she remembers it when she was young, and I sing it to my kids. Its been around for centuries. In case you don't know it here it is:

"Rock a by baby,
In a tree top,
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks,
Down comes baby,
Cradle and all."

Now who came up with the lyrics??? Don't you think this lullaby is kind of bad?? lol but it seems to calm the baby when I sing it.

what other lullabys do you sing if you sing any??

I also like to sing Hush little baby.

Here lately for my baby its twinkle little star and Jesus loves me, We sometimes dont sing sometimes we just lay her back in her crib and she will talk herself back to sleep. Oh and I know what you mean when you forget the words sometimes,but to your baby they dont care they just love the tune and the love!

I feel the same way you do about that song. I won't sing it. I always think it would terrify a child.

I sing it

when the wind blows the cradle with fall and I will catch baby cradle and all

much more peaceful ending to it w00t
