Sweet and low, sweet and low,
 4   -4 -3   3   -2* -33
Wind of the west-ern sea,
 2   -3      3     2   -3
Low, low, breathe and blow,
 -5  -4  4   -3  -4  -33
Wind of the west-ern sea!

Ov-er the roll-ing wa-ters go,
 3    -4  -3  3 -3 3  3 4  -2*  3
Come from the dy-ing moon, and blow,
 4    4  4  4   -4 -3 3*
Blow him a-gain to me,
  3   3   3  -3   3
While my lit-tle one,
  3   3   3   -3  3    4
While my pret-ty one sleeps.

Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the silver moon;
Sleep my little one,
Sleep my pretty one,
Sleep.
