Performed by: Naomi Joy Words by: Harold Boulton Air: Umbo agus Imbo Taken down from a singer at Drogheda end of XVIIIth Century Arr. by Herbert Hughes Copyright 1931 by Boosey & Co., Ltd. Lyrics: Little Boats Little boats rock on billows of blue, Little birds rock upon tree-tops too. Rock-a-by- baby, baloo, baloo. Boats sail away to countries new And birds will be crossing the billows of blue. Rock-a-by baby, and so will you. Troubles are many, pleasures are few, But I have a treasure while I have you. Rock-a-by baby, baloo, baloo. ~ Harold Boulton
