While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
"Dedicated to the One I Love"
~~The Shirelles in 1959
~~Linda Rondstadt in 1996

It's been a hard day's night,
And I've been workin' like a dog,
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping' like a log.
A Hard Day's Night, The Beatles

Angel:
Here's another version of this lullaby:
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama goin' to buy you a mockin' bird.
If that mockin' bird don't sing,
Mama goin' to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring get broke,
Mama goin' to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat fall down,
Mama's li'l baby's the sweetest in town.
from "Lullabies and night songs"

Thanks Paulb, never did I think I could work in my favorite goat song. This is the only song that Sonny Boy Williamson ever wrote about the Civil Right's movement.
THE GOAT >Sonny Boy<
There was an animal, they called the goat
He butted his way, onto the Supreme Court
So let him go, please, please, let him go
'cause he's worked so hard,
we can't use him in our Court no mo'
The medicine doctor bought the billy goat
Had a big stage show
the billy goat got mad and knocked him down,
and on some flo'
'bout that time the High Sheriff
happened to be caming along,
and caught the billy goat eating up, the ole farmers corn
The High Sheriff carried the billy goatto the county jail,
but the Desk Sargent said "I'll go his bail!"
So let him go. Please please, let him go
'cause he worked so hard we can't use him in our court no mo'

Stagger Lee met Billy and they got down to gamblin'
Stagger Lee throwed seven, and Billy said that he throwed eight
Then Billy said "Hey Stagger, I'm gonna make my big attack
I'm gonna have to leave my knife in your back"
"Wrong'em Boyo" - The Clash (can anyone tell yet that they're my favourite band?)

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Macheath, dear
So there not a trace of red
Written by Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht

Born a natural loser -- can't recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get
Go down gamblin', say it when you're runnin' low
Go down gamblin' -- you may never have to go
Down in a crap game, I've been losin' at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I ain't busted yet
'Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share
Go Down Gamblin', Blood, Sweat & Tears
Your Happy Epeolatrist!

I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn't cross thread this one!  Lookin out on the morning rain (Ah-ooo) I used to feel so uninspired (Ah-ooo) And when I knew I had to face another day (Ah-ooo) Lord it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you Life was so unkind But your love the key to my piece of mind Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel Like a natural woman (woman) " A Natural Woman" ~~the queen of soul........Aretha Franklin
