Congo Lullaby

By Paul Robeson (1935)
On album Absent (2008)

Absent
My little, black dove
Curled up in your nest of love
The moon is a charm
To keep you from harm
Asleep at my breast

The stars are alight
To watch over you at night
The river of sleep
Flows gentle and deep
To rock you to rest

So sleep, little one
'Til darkness is by
Sleep 'til the sun
Rises up in the sky

My little, black dove
Curled up in your nest of love
And go to your rest
Asleep at my breat
My little, black dove
