I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emI-Gu6aI5w)
I dream of Jeannie
With the light brown hair
Borne, like a vapor
On the summer air
I see her tripping
Where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies
That dance on her way
Many were the wild notes
Her merry voice would pour
Many were the blithe birds
That warbled them o'er
I dream of Jeannie
With the light brown hair
Floating, like a vapor
On the soft summer air
※Hush Little Baby Lullaby Song for Babies
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwdPCWTstBs)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
