Rockabye Songtext
von The Mayries

She works in night by the water
She′s gone astray, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She′s got to save him

She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
She tells him, "Your life
Ain′t gon′ be nothin' like my life
You′re gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I′ve got to do"


So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don′t you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don′t you cry

And no, mama, you never shed tear
′Cause you have to set things year after year
You give the youth love beyond compare
You find the school fee and the bus fare
Mm, pops disappear
Inna rum bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your workflow heavily, you know
Say in no time, no time for you, dear

Ooh, love
No one′s ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you

So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I′m gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody′s got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry


Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don′t know he is safe when she says

Ooh, love
No one′s ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you

So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I′m gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody′s got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don′t you cry
