"Rock a by baby" is a famous nursery rhyme that mothers have sung or quoted to their children for many years. There are many versions of the rhyme that was first printed in Mother goose's Melody. The version of the nursery rhyme that is most frequently quoted is as follows: "Rock a by baby in the tree top. When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
