| There's a cargo of wonderful dreams in the hold | B |
| For the baby that seeks Slumberland | B |
| There are fairies in pink and good fairies in white | B |
| A watch o'er the baby to keep | C |
| Now the silver sails fill with the breeze of the night | B |
| All aboard for the Harbor of Sleep | C |

| I pray that no tempest shall ruffle the sea | D |
| Through the long night that he is away | E |
| And I pray the good captain will bring him to me | D |
| With a smile at the close of the day | E |
| Oh soft as his breath be the breezes that blow | F |
| And gentle the long waves that sweep | C |
| The wonderful ship that is waiting to go | F |
| With my babe to the Harbor of Sleep | C |
| - | |
| Softly so softly the ship slips away | E |
| With its silver sails catching the breeze | G |
| The stars in the sky seem to twinkle and say | E |
| Our watch we will keep o'er the seas | G |
| And never a tempest shall happen this night | B |
| But peace shall slip down on the deep | C |
| Safe and sound shall return with the coming of light | B |
| Your babe from the Harbor of Sleep | C |
