Rockabye

She works the night, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From my 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 nothing 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
Rockabye

Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says

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 nothing 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
Rockabye
