Rockabye

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
