Lyrics
Little baby crying, what you crying for?
Thief must be stole away your heart.
Little baby crying, sleep and go to bed,
Don’t you cry.
Little baby crying, sleep and go to bed,
Don’t you cry.
Little baby crying, what you crying for?
Thief must be stole away your heart.
Little baby crying, sleep and go to bed,
Don’t you cry.
Little baby crying, sleep and go to bed,
Don’t you cry.
Dodo for Mama 'til Daddy Come
Lyrics
Dodo* for Mama til Daddy comes
When daddy comes
He'll bring suga'** cake
And give Mathias some.
*Dodo means sleep in French
**Suga' is short for sugar.
