Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Dream boat will be sailing mighty soon
To the Land of Dreams beyond the moon
Captain Sandman’s waiting with his crew
There’s a tiny berth on board for you
Chorus
So close your dreamy eyes
And then we’ll sail the starry skies
Curly Head, Curly Head!
We’ll linger for a while
Upon the shores of Slumber Isle
Curly Head, Curly Head!
Wrapped in silver moonbeams
Dream your fairy moon dreams
Until your drowsy eyes
Are kissed again by sunny skies
Rock-a-bye, hush-a-bye
Mammy’s little Golden Curly Head
- There’s a downy little flower bed
Waiting for your Golden Curly Head
In a Garden in the Land of Nod
Where they need a tiny Goldenrod
