Kentucky Babe from After Midnight by Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos, Rebecca Martin & Larry Grenadier

Skeeters are a hummin’ on the honeysuckle vine
Sleep Kentucky babe
Sandman is a comin’ to this little babe of mine
Sleep Kentucky babe

The silvery moon is shining in the heavens up above
Bobolink is pining for his little lady love
You are mighty lucky
Babe of old Kentucky
Close your eyes and sleep

Fly away Kentucky babe
Fly away to rest
Lay your little pearly head
On your mama’s breast
Close your eyes in sleep

Daddy’s in the canebreak with his little dog and gun
Sleep Kentucky babe
A possum for your breakfast when your sleeping time is done
Sleep Kentucky babe

The boogeyman will catch you sure unless you close your eyes
Waiting just outside the door to take you by surprise
Best be keeping shady
Little sleepy lady
Close your eyes and sleep
