Verse 1:
                  C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
               D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
           C
Silently rocking and rocking
               D
The moon cradle's out in the sky

Verse 2:
              C
Then comes the lad with the hazel
               D
And the folding star's in the rack
               C
"Night's a good herd," to the cattle he sings
            D
"She brings all things back"

Verse 3:
               C
But the bondwoman down by the boorie
             D
Sings with a heart grown wild
             C
How a hundred rivers are flowing
            D
Between herself and her child

Verse 4:
               C
"The geese, even they trudge homeward
               D
That have their wings and the waste
                 C
Let your thoughts be on Night the Herder
          D
And be quiet for a space"

Verse 5:
                  C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
               D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
           C
Silently rocking and rocking
               D
The moon cradle's out in the sky

Verse 6:
              C
The snipe, they are crying, crying
           D
Liadine, liadine, liadine
                   C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
            D
A lonely dream will be mine
                   C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
            D
A lonely dream will be mine
