ROCK ALL MY/THE BABIES TO SLEEP. Old-Time, Waltz (3/4 time). USA, Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA’BB. A waltz derived from a song of the same name that was recorded by a number of early country music stars, including Jimmie Rodgers (1932), Uncle Dave Macon (1926), and the Leake County Ramblers (1928). The lyrics depict a man who stays at home ‘rocking all the babies to sleep’, deserted by a wife who has left to enjoy the nightlife of the town. The song was derived from "Hush-a-bye Baby," recorded by George P. Watson in 1910.
The tune is known in Yorkshire as “Fire Burning Bright.”
