Karan Casey - The Cradle Song

      [Verse]
N.C.
Sweet babe, a golden cradle holds thee
N.C.
Soft a snow-white fleece enfolds thee
N.C.
Fairest flower all strewn before thee
N.C.
Birds warble o'er thee

[Verse]
                  C     G
Oh, who is this a-lying here
              C          G
Gently at the door of my heart
                       D  G
To and fro like clouds at night
                   D  G
I softly rock your cradle
G            D  G

[Verse]
                   C      G
A yellow moon lies in the sky
                   C        G
Streaming, falling over the earth
                         D
Hush, a leanna, hush, be still
    G                   D    G
The world is silent and sleeping
G            D  G
