The Irish Brigade - Derry Lullabye lyrics
[The Irish Brigade - Derry Lullabye lyrics]
Go to sleep, my little soldier
I've heard you say your prayers
I've listened while you told him of
Your troubles and your cares
Oh, don't you worry 'bout the sorry
You see in your daddy's eyes
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
First you told him of the soldiers
You shout at every day
You pray, don't make me hate them
But I wish they'd go away
And you ask him to forgive them
Though you don't quite known why
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
Then you pray for all the people who've
Been bombed or been shot down
You pray, let it be over
When will peace come to our town?
And I wish I knew the answer
Like I know the reasons why
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
Dream about a new tomorrow when
We finally count the cost
Of the words already spoken
The lives already lost
When we all can live together
Though we don't see eye-to-eye
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
I've heard you say your prayers
I've listened while you told him of
Your troubles and your cares
Oh, don't you worry 'bout the sorry
You see in your daddy's eyes
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
First you told him of the soldiers
You shout at every day
You pray, don't make me hate them
But I wish they'd go away
And you ask him to forgive them
Though you don't quite known why
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
Then you pray for all the people who've
Been bombed or been shot down
You pray, let it be over
When will peace come to our town?
And I wish I knew the answer
Like I know the reasons why
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
Dream about a new tomorrow when
We finally count the cost
Of the words already spoken
The lives already lost
When we all can live together
Though we don't see eye-to-eye
Go to sleep until tomorrow
I'll sing this lullabye:
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
