Winkum, winkim, shut your eye,
While I sing a lullaby,
For the night is almost here,
Stars are flick'ring, oh, so near,
And the moonlight's peeping over
Yonder hill-top capped with clover.

Chickens long have gone to rest,
Birds lie snug within their nest,
And my birdie soom will be
Sleeping like a chickadee,
For with only half a try,
Winkum, winkum, shut your eye.
