Full Lyrics
Byeobaby bunting,
Papa’s gone ahunting;
Gone to hunt a rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in.
Sleep, my little baby,
Soon he’ll bring it, maybe;
Then Jack Frost and Mister Storm
Cannot find your cradle warm.
Byeobye, byeobye,
Byeobaby bunting,
Byeobaby, byeobye.
Thro’ the dark that’s creeping,
Starry eyes are peeping,
And my pretty one they spy,
Whisper softly "babybye."
Precious little bundle,
Made to kiss and fondle!
Peach bloom cheeks and violet eyes,
Rosebud mouth with talk so wise.
Sleep, my drowsy baby!
Pleasant may your way be,
Thro’ the lanes of byloland,
Holding fast to mother’s hand.
Now your eyes are closing,
Dimpled hand reposing
Like a snowflake on your breast;
Byeobaby, sleep and rest.
