1. A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he chirrup’d, he chirrup’d, so merry was he;
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot the little cock-sparrow.
2. “This little cock-sparrow shall make me a stew
And his giblets shall make me a little pie too:”
“Oh, no!” said the sparrow, “I won’t make a stew,”
So he flapped his wings, and away he flew.
SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP.

1. Sleep, baby, sleep!
Our cottage vale is deep;
The little lamb is on the green,
With snowy fleece so soft and clean
Sleep, baby, sleep!
