The sun has gone from the shining skies
|
Bye, baby, bye
|
The dandelions have closed their eyes
|
Bye, baby, bye
|
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
|
The babes and squirrels and birds and bees
|
Are sound asleep as they ought to be
|
Bye, baby, bye.
|
|
The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray
|
Bye, baby, bye
|
'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away
|
Bye, baby, bye
|
The robin's home is a nest o'erhead
|
The bees, they nest in a hive instead
|
My baby's nest is her little bed
|
Bye, baby, bye.
