Lyrics

  1. Dream boat will be sailing mighty soon
    To the Land of Dreams beyond the moon
    Captain Sandman’s waiting with his crew
    There’s a tiny berth on board for you

Chorus
So close your dreamy eyes
And then we’ll sail the starry skies
Curly Head, Curly Head!
We’ll linger for a while
Upon the shores of Slumber Isle
Curly Head, Curly Head!
Wrapped in silver moonbeams
Dream your fairy moon dreams
Until your drowsy eyes
Are kissed again by sunny skies
Rock-a-bye, hush-a-bye
Mammy’s little Golden Curly Head

  1. There’s a downy little flower bed
    Waiting for your Golden Curly Head
    In a Garden in the Land of Nod
    Where they need a tiny Goldenrod
