My Pigeon House
My Pigeon House
Lullaby
My pigeon house, I open wide,
Open wide and set all my pigeons free.
They fly all around
And up, and down,
And up, and down,
And light in the tallest tree.
And when they return from their merry, merry flight,
They close their eyes and say "Good night"
Coo-coo-coo-coo
Coo-ooh-coo-ooh-ooh-ohh
Good night!

My Pigeon Doors I open wide and set my pigeons free
They fly 'ore the hills on every Dale and land on the tallest tree.
And when they return, from their merry merry journ,
I shut my door and say "good night"
Coo a roo, coo a roo, coo a roo, coo a roo
Coo a roo, coo a roo, coo a roo."
Thanks!
