Don't Cry Little Child

Lullaby 

Don't cry little child,
Don't cry little child,
Your mother* isn't home
Who are you crying for?
My poor little child,
Please sleep peacefully
Who hit you?
Little Paul?
Tell me so I can hit him back!
Oh, my child,
Don't sigh child
My poor little child,
Please sleep peacefully.
