Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
NOTE: This lullaby was used as the lyrics for the Beatles song of the same name on the LP Abbey Road. Although attributed to Thomas Dekker, Henry Chettle and William Haughton co-wrote it.
