Gawd! My mum used to sing something that went "Bye baby bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting.........." and was, basically, a promotion of bloodsports because the rabbit got caught and skinned to provide a coat for Baby Bunting.

Pretty revolting.

Oh yes I remember that one!

“Gone to fetch a rabbit skin to wrap my baby bunting in”!

For some reason DD had to have "Dark brown is the river, golden is the sand."
But I can't find it sung with "our" tune on YouTube.

I used to sing " Go to sleep my baby " to my children and G/C

Just listening to Rob Bryden telling that his mother’s lullaby song was ‘ Once upon a time there were three Jews’!
I remember the Bodach singing the Boys’ Brigade hymn to ours, and my personal favourite was Panis Angelicus!
These were the ‘go to sleep’ choices, not the everyday singalongs.

“ the Boys’ Brigade hymn” . Do you mean “We have an anchor.”That’s quite rousing for bedtime.

Coulters candy, to children and grand weans

My mother sang something Welsh, like Calon Lan (??) to me. I know it off by heart.

Morningtown Ride

Rock a bye baby. That was a bit gruesome too windmill!

Frère Jacques to both our grandchildren. No high notes for me to reach!

Three wheels on my wagon.......

You are my sunshine

Just had a Google… it’s lula Lula Lula Lula bye bye apparently!

Too Ra Loo Ra Loora that's an Irish lullaby.

Lula lula bye bye. No idea if that’s how to spell it!

My Mum sang it to me, I sang it to my boys and then to my Granddaughter

My mother would sing Brahms Lullaby to us, and I sang it to my children. Whenever I hear it, it finishes me!

It was also my MIL's song for her children, and it was played and sung at her funeral.

My mother used to sing “Go to sleep my baby”. Happy days

I used to sing "Golden slumbers" to my children and grandchildren.
