Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody
- Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody
"Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" is a popular song written by Jean Schwartz, with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. The song was published in 1918.
Probably the best-known recordings of the song were by Al Jolson (who introduced it) and Judy Garland. It was also a hit for Jerry Lewis in the 1950s. Aretha Franklin also recorded a lesser-known version of this song, which reached #37 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.
In the 1950s, it was issued on the Peter Pan Records label, aimed at children, on a 45 RPM record as the flip side of "When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along".
The song lends itself to easy adaptation. Harvey Fierstein sang it to Katie Couric during her last day hosting the "Today" show: "Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye Katie with a goodbye melody".
