Hush a bye baby, on the tree top

Hush a bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

 

Now this is suppose to be a lullaby, yet it tells the child that the tree branch its in is going to brake and his cradle is going to crash to the ground.

I think Ill give this one a miss :). Dated around 1760, it is sang to the child.
