Rock Me to Sleep in Rock Island.

GOSH! WE SUPPOSED THIS HAD BEEN
FORGOT.
Rock Me to Sleep in Rock Island.
There's place to which my thoughts are

yearning.
That is where l long to be.
Where my nanny cuddled me.
Memories are telling me to be returning.

That is where 1 would be dreaming
Rock me to sleep in Rock Island,
In Rock Island, Illinoioioioioiois.
