From the recording LULLABY FOR THE WORLD
A traditional lullaby from medieval France
Lyrics
Isabeau went a-strolling
All in her garden-o,
All in her garden-o,
Near the ocean rolling,
All in her garden-o,
Near the ocean shore
Where the white billows roar.
She met thirty young sailors,
Thirty young sailors bold,
Thirty young sailors bold,
Near the ocean rolling,
Thirty young sailors bold,
Near the ocean shore
Where the white billows roar.
The youngest of the sailors
Sang a sweet melody,
Sang a sweet melody
Near the ocean rolling,
Sang a sweet melody
Near the ocean shore
Where the white billows roar.
"The song that you are singing,
I'd like to know," said she.
"I'd like to know," said she,
Near the ocean rolling,
"I'd like to know," said she,
Near the ocean shore
Where the white billows roar.
