Rockabye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She works the nights by the water
She's gone astray so far away
From my father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him
She tells him: Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you
She tells him: Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no
Rockabye, yeah, oh, oh
Single mama, what are you doing out there
Facing the hard life without no fear
Just so you know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared and
No, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find his school fee and the bus fare
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
When she says: Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye yeahhh oooo
rockabye yeaahh ooo
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
She tells him: Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you
She tells him: Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
