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

I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

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.

We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea

But as long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat.

She tells him, "ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

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.

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.

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

Rockabye, oh no yeah

Rockabye.
