Verse 1
She works the night, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)
Pre-Chorus
She tells him "ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)
Chorus
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no (rockabye, rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah (rockabye, rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Verse 2
Single mom, how you doing out there
Facing the hard life, without no fear
Just see and know that you really care
Cause any obstacle come yu well prepared
And no mama, you never shed tear
Cause you have to set things year and to year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find the school fee and the bus fare
Mmm all when the paps' disappear
In a rum bar can’t find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, heavily you know
So you nah stop no time, no time fi a jear
Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he's safe
Pre-Chorus
When she says "ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
Chorus
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye, no (rockabye, rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah (rockabye, rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels around, you just dry your eyes
Verse 3
Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he's safe when she says
Pre-Chorus
She tells him "ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (yeah)
Chorus
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

Rockabye (rockabye, don't bother cry. Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky)
Rockabye (rockabye, don't bother cry. Angels around, you just dry your eyes)
