Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Come now mamma’s darling
To bye bye you must go
Sit on mammy’s lap
And she’ll rock you to and fro
She’ll sing you songs of Fairies
And Goblin men you know
And you’ll travel right to fairyland
Along a big Rainbow
Refrain
So close your eyes on the Rainbow Trail
Where fairies sing and the Goblins wail
When you’re sleeping in your little cot
Of pretty fairies there will be a lot
A little fairy Prince in his little fairy boat
Will come to you, you know
He’ll come sailing through all the colors to you
From his home on the Big Rainbow
- Slumberland my darling
The sandman comes to you
In his bag he’s Goblins
And pretty fairies, too
He’s Jumping Jacks and Teddy Bears
Who hop round to and fro
So come on mammy’s Darling
To Dreamland you must go
