Rock-a-bye baby

Did your child have a favorite lullaby? Our oldest did.. She used to have a bear that sang Rock-a-bye baby. She was really attached to that bear. Until it failed and no longer played the song.. A couple of years ago, I found another bear on www.ebay.com and she was ecstatic about it. But it eventually stopped singing its song as well. So if any of you know where to find another Rock-a-bye baby item that sings the song, please let me know. Although our oldest daughter is almost 15, the song still comforts her..

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all

Baby is drowsing, cozy and fair
Mother sits near, in her rocking chair
Forward and back, the cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings

From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one's as dear, as baby to me
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep, until morning light..
