LYRICS

Sleep, baby me-o
Rock in the windy weave-o
Wave after wave-o
Out to the ocean we go

Sleep, baby, sleep
Mama will hold you till your dreams run free
To and fro, weathering old winter to spring

Tethers untying
Moonshine on the river
I’ll rock you through anything, so
Sleep, baby, sleep.

CHORUS

Roll, Columbia, roll
Out to the ocean and a tidewater squall
With a windy call keeps beckoning old sailors to salt

Tethers untying
Moonshine on the river
I’ll rock you through anything, so
Sleep, baby, sleep.

CHORUS

Fifty fishes deep
Deep in the water that old otter, he plays
And turns from the bay westerly, he’s hauling us away

Tethers untying
Moonshine on the river
I’ll rock you through anything, so
Sleep, baby, sleep.

CHORUS
