Bonny Light Horseman, Eric D. Johnson, Anaïs Mitchell and Josh Kaufman - Rock the Cradle

Long before the risin sun
I’m forced to leave my bed
To fetch the morning firewood
And get the table spread

I’ll rock the cradle Annie
I’ll rock the cradle on
I’ll rock the cradle Annie
And keep the babies warm

I’ll stir the morning porridge
And give the eggs a turn
Be quick, be quick, not lazy
Or one or both will burn

I’ll rock the cradle Annie
I’ll rock the cradle on
I’ll rock the cradle Annie
And keep the babies warm

There’s morning rain a fallin
There’s laundry on the line
I hear the kettle callin
I hear the babies cryin

I’ll rock the cradle Annie…
