My Big Blue Boat (rock back and forth)

*can be sung to "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

I love to row in my big blue boat

My big blue boat, my big blue boat

I love to row in my big blue boat

Out on the deep blue sea

My big blue boat has two red sails

(wave arms over head like sails)

Two red sails, two red sails

My big blue boat has two red sails

Out on the deep blue sea

So come for a row in my big blue boat

My big blue boat, my big blue boat

So come for a row in my big blue boat

Out on the deep blue sea

Rocking (gently rock baby)

Hush, hush little baby

The sun's in the west

The lamb in the meadow

Has laid down to rest

The bough rocks the bird now

The flower rocks the bee

The wave rocks the lilly

The wind rocks the tree

And I rock the baby

So softly to sleep

She must not awaken

'Till daisy buds peep
