See accordion notation above: the "low" uses buttons 3 to 6 and the "high" uses buttons 6 to 10*. Sounds great, playing with the "pro's". |

Lyrics:

Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother's delight Bright angels beside my darling abide They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast Plus many other verses and versions (not always including the traditional ones above). |
