? Recommended reason:

This classic lullaby comes from the southern United States, and its creator and publication date are unpredictable. Like all lullabies, the whole song is full of warm, cordial and peaceful atmosphere, calm and slow tunes, warm and soft melodies. The father or mother gently guards the children and hums them gently, so that the children can fall asleep in cheerful songs.
In this lullaby, the father made various promises to the sleeping children, from robin to carriage. These unimportant things vividly describe such a scene. A father, holding his child in his arms, hummed softly, and went wherever he wanted. It seemed unrestrained, but in fact he was full of deep love for his child-he not only gave these things to his children, but also gave the whole world to them.
