Lyrics

  1. Shadows fall on nursery wall
    It is the end of the day
    Mammy comes and softly hums
    To her child at play

Refrain
Drowsy head, drowsy head
Close your eyes and go to bed
Go put your toys away
You’ve played enough today
Shadows are falling
Sandman is calling
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
Hush a-bye, my baby
Don’t you dare to peep
Mammy’s little drowsy head

  1. Shadows fall on nursery wall
    Daylight is passing by
    Baby calls to her dolls
    That same lullaby
