There There Child

There, there child, there, there child

Don't it make you feel alright?

There, there child

Don't it all look good tonight?And you feel like going but you gotta stay

Ain't no time for to hop on a freight train

And you feel like laying in the morning hay

'Cause it's time for a nap now, before rainThere, there child

Don't it make you satisfied?

There, there child

You can rest your weary eyesAnd you feel like walking on a mountain top

Or a ride on a boat up the river

And the last lonely sheep has returned to the flock

As you wing over the white cliffs of DoverThere, there child

There's a glint in your eye for surprise

There, there child

Are you ready to don your disguise? Yes, you areSun goes down across the pond

And the wind, wind is blowing wild

And the swallow soars and the lion roars

Outside your front door, by the oak tree in the meadowThere, there child, there, there child, no, no

Are you ready to don your disguise?

There, there child

There's a glint in your eye for surpriseDo you feel like walking on the mountain top

Or ride on a boat up the river?

And the last lonely sheep has returned to the flock

As you wing over the white cliffs of DoverAs you wing over the white cliffs of Dover, straight ahead

As you wing over the white cliffs of Dover, straight ahead

You wing over the white cliffs of Dover
