Sea Green Singers - You're a sleepy baby lyrics and score (Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire)



You're a sleepy baby - words and music
1. You're a sleepy baby, I am tired too
Go to sleep for Mummy, I'll tell you what we'll do
We'll tiptoe very quietly so nobody can hear
and we'll go up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire

2. You're fragrant as a flower, you're smile is like the sun.
Go to sleep for Mummy for her work is never done.
Nothings going to harm you, you can sleep without a care
when you go up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.
3.I've rocked you on my shoulder, I've walked and walked the floor.
Go to sleep for Mummy and I'll not ask for more.
All the songs I ever knew I've sung them in your ear
now please go up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.

4. You Mummy and your Daddy need some loving of their own.
Go to sleep for Mummy, you'll not be all alone.
For when you are asleep there'll be a creaking on the stair
and we'll come up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.
