Barry Sadler Lullaby Lyrics

Go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back
Well, I don't know

While I'm gone
You'll be the man
Help your mama
When you can
It's a big job
I can see
For a boy
Just pushing three

Son can I have A little kiss
Just a small one
You won't miss
That's right close
Your sleepy eyes
You shouldn't see
Your daddy cry

So go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back
Well, I don't know
