What was your lullaby song?

Yes, my bonnie lies over the ocean as well.

Love ' Golden Slumbers kiss my eyes! just played it on' you tube'

Danny Boy sent me to sleep

‘I’ve been workin’ on the railroad’ to my grandson, replacing Dinah’s name with his ☺️

My mum used to sing Golden Slumbers to me.

I love Golden Slumbers.

I’ve just remembered, I used to sing Morningtown Ride to my children too.

Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise,
Underneath the blankets, go all the girls and boys… 🎶🎹

My mother used to sing Scarlet Ribbons.

My dad used to sing “Home, home on the range” to me.
I sing Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly or I had a little nut tree.

"Go to sleep my baby" was what my mim sang to me & also 'Theres a tiny house By a tiny stream Where a lovely lass Used to sit and dream.'
My much-loved Dad would sing me Eidelweiss from Sound of Music if Mum was cross & sent me to bed without a cuddle / story/ song.
I sang Brahms lullaby to mine, also to the dogs when they were puppies, but I've never known the words, just make them up.

I used to sing Mull of Kintyre to mine to get them to sleep.

All The Little Horses is a sweet lullaby too.

Ali Bali Bee

You are my sunshine, was mine too. 💞

I used to sing The Skye Boat Song to my babies, or a hymn from the Methodist Hymn Book, In heavenly Love Abiding was a favourite.
My mother sang Go to Sleep my Baby to my sisters and I.

Teddy bears picnic and Hush little baby don’t say a word Daddy’s going to buy you a mocking bird.

I don’t remember my mother singing to me at all….or ever singing for that matter.
I sang to my children. My DD particularly remembers the Everly Brothers ‘ Dream, dream, dream ‘.

Parent never sang to me but they did play jazz and blues music a lot. I certainly never sang to mine. They would have had nightmares!

Oh my goodness, such lovely (tear jerking!) memories. I think I have sung all of them at one time or another. My mother sang Scarlet Ribbons 🥲.

I used to make up my own words to "Brahms Lullaby"
It usually went something like:-

Lullaby and goodnight to my very own baby
Lullaby and goodnight to my very own baybee

And so on for what seemed like an eternity until the little sausage went to sleep. Happy days.

I sometimes used to go to sleep sat in a chair by their cot before they did.

I sang ‘Nana’ by Manuel de Falla to mine as I sang it at concerts, it’s just beautiful.
My mother sang Now the day is over.

Chubby cheeks and big brown eyes

My Dad used to sing Secret Love to me...from Calamity Jane. I only have to hear it now to get very emotional.
