This is the most fav song at betime for my kids. my original . I would be honored if you sang this to your children .

If you have trouble geting them to sleep do a real long version. If you need any help let me know.
:-)


probably heard somewhere in my childhood but this is my original. ( close to the traditional weah ho little fishy ) Sung to my kids one day as we walked on the beach and one of them was crying . All three kids .youngest in my kiddie backpack. Just started singing the tune. Story came later. When I had time I used to fish. I wanted to end the You tube version as a catch and release story. MOre politically correct.. LOL . Also would have tried to make it more finished but this is close to the orignal way the kids hear it except the story drags out abit to get the kids to wind down and the song goes as long as needed till they fall asleep which I am proud to say was allways succcessful. Then again my tunes are a bit mellow/boring.

goog luck getting them to sleep

  • FYI the song is called Manuels Love Song from the wonderful old B&W film called "Captains Courageous"...watch it and cry...a lot !

  • @workingtraffic Thank you. The story was something I made up. The song is clearly something from movies out there who did not know that was the specific one. Thanks.

  • is there any lirycs on that song else of "don't cry" ? only ask cuz i have another version...

  • I have seen some feel free to reply.the idea here was to be repetitious and boring to promote sleep. My songs are a bit boring in a way.thnaks.

  • Very Cute !

    Thanks so much for sharing !

  • So you have me interested in singing kids to sleep with this medium since mine are grown up.Although now I am so interested in the music for me it is hard to make enough time for all.Seems there must be a whole genre out there.You have quite a song list.

    If you or have others sing or play my tune to their kids and it works send me a note.thanks again.

    ps .not sure this made it the first time i sent it.

see all
