russian lullaby

fitzgerald, ella

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

ev'ry 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
