Russian Lullaby 1927 Irving Berlin

Where the dreamy Volga flows
there's a lonely Russian rose.
Gazing tenderly
down upon her knee
where a baby's brown eyes glisten. Listen.

Ev'ry night you'll hear her croon
a Russian lullaby.
Just a little plaintive tune
when baby starts to cry.
"Rockabye, my baby.
Somewhere there may be a land
that's free for you and me
and a Russian lullaby."

Ev'ry night you'll hear her croon
a Russian lullaby.
Just a little plaintive tune
when baby starts to cry.
"Rockabye, my baby.
Somewhere there may be a land
that's free for you and me
and a Russian lullaby."

As she's softly crooning there
ev'ry little notes a prayer
she is near to tears
full of hopes and fears
for her baby
she is scheming, dreaming.

Ev'ry night you'll hear her croon
a Russian lullaby.
Just a little plaintive tune
when baby starts to cry.
"Rockabye, my baby.
Somewhere there may be a land
that's free for you and me
and a Russian lullaby."

Ev'ry night you'll hear her croon
a Russian lullaby.
Just a little plaintive tune
when baby starts to cry.
"Rockabye, my baby.
Somewhere there may be a land
that's free for you and me
and a Russian lullaby."
