She works at nights, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From her 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, Oh, 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
Ah, rockabye,
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
When she says,
She tells him oh, 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
Ah, rockabye, rockabye
