Kentucky Babe

Skeeters am a hummin' 
on the honeysuckle vine 
sleep Kentucky Babe! 

Sandman am a comin' 
to this little child of mine 
sleep Kentucky Babe! 

Silvery moon am a shinin' 
on de heavens up above 
bobolink am pinin' for his little lady love . . . 

You is might lucky 
Babe of old Kentucky 
close your eyes in sleep . . . 
and fly away, 
fly away Kentucky Babe, 
fly away to rest, fly away, 
lay your curly woolly head 
on your mammy's breast, 
hmm, hmmm, edah la da da dee 
close your eyes in sleep!
