So sleep, pretty baby, and shut up your eye:

By-bye, little Dolly; lie still, and by-bye.

I’ll lay my clean handkerchief over your head,

And then make believe that my arms are your bed,

So hush! little dear, and be sure you don’t cry;

By-bye, little Dolly; lie still, and by-bye.

There, now it is morning, and time to get up,

And I’ll crumb you a mess in my doll’s china cup;

So wake, little baby, and open your eye,

For I think it high time to have done with by-bye.
