American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
TIRED LASSIE, GO TO SLEEP. Cupyright, 1892, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words by J. Ross. Music by Henry Whitcombe. 
Tired lassie, go to sleep, mother is watching near; Close those pretty eyelids sweet, nothing need you fear; Tiny hands so soft and white fold in peace and rest, Mother's darling sweetly sleep-by no care oppressed. 
Chorus. Sleep and rest, sleep and rest, father will come to thee soon; Rest, rest on mother's breast, father will come to thee soon; Father will come to his babe in the nest, silver sails all out of the West, Under the silver moon. Tired lassie, sleep; sleep, my pretty one, sleep. 
Tired lassie, go to sleep, thy troubles soon pass over: Rest, my sweet, your pretty head, angels 'round thee hover; Lullaby, sweet lullaby, sleep, my darling, sleep: Close those blue eyes, tired lassie, while stars softly peep.- Chorus.
