Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

[Verse 1]When my daily work is thruAnd I\u27m all aloneThere are times I\u27m sad and blueThen I ponder my tho\u27ts wander Back to days that I once knewAnd I must confessMammy taught me just what brought me Moments of real happiness [Chorus]I can hear my Mammy praying Now I lay me down to sleep While I\u27m beside her saying I pray the Lord my soul to keepIf I should die before I wakeI pray the Lord my soul to take If mammy tho\u27t that I\u27d forget these words I know her heart would breakI\u27ve forgotten many lessons that I learn\u27d in childhood daysBut Mammy\u27s tender blessin\u27s They seem to cling to me alwaysAnd tho\u27 I\u27ve lost my Daddy lost my MammyStill I\u27ll always keep the memory of Now I lay me down to sleep [Verse 2]I hum over many timesMammy\u27s LullabyI remember nursery rhymesThat she told me when she\u27d hold meBut the sweetest memoryIs the little pray\u27rMammy gave me when a baby It follows me ev\u27rywhere [Chorus
