Ho, pretty bee, did you see my croodlin doo? <br /> Ho, little lamb, is she jinkin' on the lea? <br /> Ho, bonnie fairy, bring my dearie back to me-- <br />Got a lump o' sugar an' a posie for you, <br />Only bring back my wee, wee croodlin doo! <br /> <br />Why, here you are, my little croodlin doo! <br /> Looked in er cradle, but didn't find you there, <br /> Looked f'r my wee, wee croodlin doo ever'where; <br />Ben kind lonesome all er day withouten you; <br />Where you ben, my little wee, wee croodlin doo? <br /> <br />Now you go balow, my little croodlin doo; <br /> Now you go rockaby ever so far,-- <br /> Rockaby, rockaby, up to the star <br />That's winkin' an' blinkin' an' singin' to you <br />As you go balow, my wee, wee croodlin doo!<br /><br />Eugene Field<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-croodlin-doo/
