trick you

time's getting on

and the singing of this song

is to trick you into sleeping sound

the day's getting long

and the singing of this song

is to trick you into sleeping sound

it's late you see

it's late for thee

it's even getting late

getting late for pa and me

nobody's going anywhere else

not going to leave you here by yourself

time's getting on

and the singing of this song

is to trick you into sleeping sound

the day's getting long

and the singing of this song

is to trick you into sleeping sound
