Winkum winkum shut your eyes
While I sing sweet lullabies
For the dew is falling soft
Lights are flick'ring up aloft
And the moon is peeping over
Yonder hilltop capped with clover
Chickens long have gone to rest
Birds lie snug within their nest
And my darling soon will be
Sleeping like a chickadee;
For with only half a try
Winkum Winkum shuts her eyes
Winkum Winkum shut your eyes
