rock-a-bye

It's an interjection, always used to settle a baby or child down to sleep.

"rock-a-bye, Baby," sang Alfred in strident tones and he swung the child high in his arms.

Rock-a-bye Baby

Is a nursery rhyme and lullaby.

The most common version used today is:

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,

When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,

And down will come baby, cradle and all.
