From the 1927 film “Blue Skies”
words and music by Irving Berlin
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Where the dreamy Volga flows
There’s a lonely Russian Rose
Gazing tenderly down upon her knee
Where a baby’s brown eyes glisten
Listen
Chorus
Every night you’ll hear her croon
A Russian lullaby
Just a little plaintive tune
When baby starts to cry
Rock-a-bye my baby
Somewhere there may be a land
That’s free for you and me
And a Russian lullaby
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
