I don't know about you, but I find the original version ofRock-a-bye Baby to be somewhat disturbing. I can't understand why we have always sung a song about a baby falling out of a tree to children.
Some say the song is based on a historical family who lived in a tree and used the the large hollow bow as a cradle to rock their children to sleep. Others claim it is about Native American practices. No one actually knows.
Still kinda creepy, though. And I would much rather sing something sweet and comforting to my children to calm them before bed.
I sing my own version to my babies and I have made free printable.
I hope you like it :)
