O -ri -en -tal moon -beams thru a wil -low tree, Sprin -kle light in sil -v'ry rays.
Al -mond eyes with ba -by, croon -ing song is she, In her quaint Ce -les -tial way.

Chorus:
Chi -na Boy go sleep,
Close your eyes don't peep.
Sand -man soon will come,
While I soft -ly hum.
Bud -dha smiles on you,
Moon -man loves you too: So,
While their watch they keep,
Chi -na Boy go sleep.
