ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loving vigil keeping All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night Though I roam a minstrel lonely All through the night My true harp shall praise sing only All through the night Love's young dream, alas, is over Yet my strains of love shall hover Near the presence of my lover All through the night Hark, a solemn bell is ringing Clear through the night Thou, my love, art heavenward winging Home through the night Earthly dust from off thee shaken Soul immortal shalt thou awaken With thy last dim journey taken Home through the night 5. Baa Baa Black Sheep Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full. One for my master, One for my dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane. Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full. One for my master, One for my dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane. 6. Brahms Lullaby Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms Sleepyhead, close your eyes, for I'm right beside you Guardian angels are near, so sleep without fear Lullaby, and good night, with roses be-dight Lilies o'er head, lay thee down in thy bed Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms Lullaby, and sleep tight, my darling sleeping On sheets white as cream, with the head full of dreams Sleepyhead, close your eyes, I'm right beside you Lay thee down now and rest, may you slumber the best Go to sleep, little one, think of puppies and kittens. Go to sleep, little one, think of butterflies in spring. Go to sleep, little one, think of sunny bright mornings. Hush, darling one, sleep through the night Sleep through the night Sleep through the night 7. Au Clair du la Lune "By the light of the moon, My friend Pierrot, Lend me your quill To write a word. My candle is dead, I have no more fire. Open your door for me For the love of God." By the light of the moon, Pierrot replied: "I don't have any pens, I am in my bed Go to the neighbor's, I think she's there Because in her kitchen Someone is lighting the fire." By the light of the moon Likeable Lubin Knocks on the brunette's door. She suddenly responds: – Who's knocking like that? He then replies: – Open your door for the God of Love! By the light of the moon One could barely see The pen was looked for, The light was looked for. With all that looking I don't know what was found, But I do know that the door Shut itself on them. 8. Cockles and Mussels CHORUS alive alive oh alive alive ohh singing cockles and mussels alive alive ohhh In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty I once met a girl named sweet Molly Malone and she wheeled her wheel barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh She was a fish monger and sure was no wonder so were her mother and father before and they wheeled their wheel barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh She died of a fever and so one could save her and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh She wheels her wheel barrrow thought the streets broad and narrow her barrow is narrow her hipa are too wide and whenever she wheels it the neighborhood feels it her girdle keeps brushin' the homes on each side It's not just her fat but, it's not only that but, she's cockeyed and musclebound Molly Malone CHORUS 9.

I said, "So fair a princess Never did I see, I'll give you all the fruit From my little nut tree." 13.

Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? Oh where, oh where Has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his ears cut short And his tail cut long Oh where, oh where can he be? I think he went down To the building site To see what he could see And in his mouth Was a globe so bright I wonder what could it be Oh where, oh where Has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his ears cut short And his tail cut long Oh where, oh where can he be? I last saw him by the bulldozer Playing and running around But I just can't see him there anymore He just can't seem to be found Perhaps the man over there will know He may have seen him go by Who knows where He might have decided to go But we've got to give it a try Oh where, oh where Has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his tail cut long Oh where, oh where can he be? 16.

Mary Had A Little Lamb Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go It followed her to school one day School one day, school one day It followed her to school one day Which was against the rules. It made the children laugh and play, Laugh and play, laugh and play, It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school And so the teacher turned it out, Turned it out, turned it out, And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near And waited patiently about, Patiently about, patiently about, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" Love Mary so? Love Mary so? "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know." Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know." The teacher did reply. 18. Mary Mary Mary, Mary, quite contrary How does your garden grow?

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose O my Love's like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Love's like the melodies That’s sweetly play'd in tune: As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I: And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry: Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun: I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Love And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Love, Tho’ it were ten thousand mile. 22.

Sing A Song Of Sixpence Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds, Baked in a pie. When the pie was opened The birds began to sing; Wasn't that a dainty dish, To set before the king. The king was in his counting house, Counting out his money; The queen was in the parlour, Eating bread and honey. The maid was in the garden, Hanging out the clothes, When down came a blackbird And nipp-ed off her nose. They sent for the king's doctor, who sewed it on again; He sewed it on so neatly, the seam was never seen. There was such a commotion, that little Jenny wren Flew down into the garden, and put it back again. 25.

There Was A Crooked Man There was a crooked man, And he walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence Upon a crooked stile: He bought a crooked cat, Which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together In a crooked little house. 29. White Choral Bells White Coral Bells Upon a slender stalk Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk Oh, don't you wish that you might hear them ring? That will happen only when the fairies sing. 30. Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms BELIEVE me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms, Like fairy-gifts, fading away! Thou wouldst still be ador'd as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will; And, around the dear ruin, each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still! It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofan'd by a tear, That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known, To which time will but make thee more dear! Oh! the heart, that has truly lov'd, never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turn'd when he rose!
