Drowsy Head

[1st verse:]
Shadows fall on nursery wall
It is the end of the day
Mammy comes and softly hums
To her child at play
[Refrain:]
Drowsy head
Drowsy head
Close your eyes and go to bed
Go put your toys away
You've played enough today
Shadows are falling
Sandman is calling
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
Hush a-bye, my baby
Don't you dare to peep
Mammy's little drowsy head
[2nd verse:]
Shadows fall on nursery wall
Daylight is passing by
Baby calls to her dolls
That same lullaby
