The Mayries - Rockabye

[00:05.22] She works the nights, by the water

[00:11.33] She's gone astray, so far away

[00:14.25] From her father's daughter

[00:17.44] She just wants a life for her baby

[00:23.81] All on her own, no one will come

[00:26.74] She's got to save him

[00:30.73] She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love

[00:35.51] I'm gonna give you all of my love

[00:38.96] Nobody matters like you"

[00:43.21] She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life

[00:48.26] You're gonna grow and have a good life

[00:51.44] I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

[00:55.70] So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye

[01:00.47] I'm gonna rock you

[01:02.34] Rockabye baby, don't you cry

[01:06.85] Somebody's got you

[01:08.45] Rockabye baby, Rockabye

[01:12.96] I'm gonna rock you

[01:14.81] Rockabye baby, don't you cry

[01:21.19] And no mama, you never shed tear

[01:23.85] Cause you have to set things year after year

[01:27.30] You give the youth love beyond compare

[01:30.49] You find his school fee and the bus fare

[01:33.68] Mmm more, when pops disappear

[01:36.60] In the round back can't find him nowhere

[01:39.78] Now she got a six-year-old

[01:41.91] Trying to keep him warm

[01:44.30] Trying to keep out the cold

[01:47.22] When he looks in her eyes

[01:49.35] He don't know he is safe

[01:51.41] When she says "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love

[01:58.31] I'm gonna give you all of my love

[02:01.49] Nobody matters like you"

[02:06.02] So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye

[02:10.53] I'm gonna rock you

[02:12.38] Rockabye baby, don't you cry

[02:16.90] Somebody's got you

[02:18.76] Rockabye baby, Rockabye

[02:23.27] I'm gonna rock you

[02:25.14] Rockabye baby, don't you cry
