| When upon the haunted green | D |
| Fairies dance around their queen | D |
| Then from yonder misty skies | E |
| Cometh Lady Button Eyes | E |

| Through the murk and mist and gloam | F |
| To our quiet cozy home | F |
| Where to singing sweet and low | B |
| Rocks a cradle to and fro | B |
| Where the clock's dull monotone | G |
| Telleth of the day that's done | A |
| Where the moonbeams hover o'er | H |
| Playthings sleeping on the floor | I |
| Where my weary wee one lies | E |

| From that shadow queen is heard | M |
| In ethereal raiment dight | M |
| From the realm of fay and sprite | M |
| In the depth of yonder skies | E |
| Cometh Lady Button Eyes | E |
| - | |
| Layeth she her hands upon | N |
| My dear weary little one | A |
| And those white hands overspread | M |
| Like a veil the curly head | M |
| Seem to fondle and caress | O |
| Every little silken tress | O |
| Then she smooths the eyelids down | P |
| Over those two eyes of brown | P |
| In such soothing tender wise | E |
| Cometh Lady Button Eyes | E |
| - | |
| Dearest feel upon your brow | Q |
| That caressing magic now | Q |
| For the crickets in the glen | C |
| Chirp and chirp and chirp again | C |
| While upon the haunted green | D |
| Fairies dance around their queen | D |
| And the moonbeams hover o'er | H |
| Playthings sleeping on the floor | I |
| Hush my sweet from yonder skies | E |
| Cometh Lady Button Eyes | E |
