I have hand typed sheet music titled "The Rock-a-Bye Song". I need to find the original source of this song. I want to locate the copyright holder, if any, so that I can include it in a songbook I am compiling. The first and last verses are:
"The first song I re-mem-bered, Seems not so long a-go, When Mom would rock my cra-dle And to me she'd sing this song: Rock-a-my ba-by in the tree top When the wind blows the cra-dle will rock; Rock-a-my ba-by in my arms, When the wind blows it will cause you no harm. Rock-a-my ba-by in the tree top, When the wind blows the cra-dle will rock; Rock-a-my child in my arms, When the wind blows it will cause you no harm."
_____ Now that I am old-er, At times I'm still a-fraid, But I go to the Rock of A-ges And I rock my fears a-way. Rock of A-ges cleft for me, When the wind blows let me hide in Thee; Rock-a-my soul in His arms, When the wind blows It will cause my no harm.
