Regarding Creek Lullaby. this song was recorded in
1943 By Professor Willard Rhodes.

University and employed by The Bureau of Indian Affairs
to compile a recorded catalouge of Native American
Songs. Professor Rhodes recorded a young girl named
Margaret singing Creek Lullaby.
Margaret attened the Haskell Institue in Lawrence,
kansas. According to the Professors notes Margaret's
voice "shimmered in the room" The translation, roughly, is

Baby, sleep, sleep, sleep.
Father has gone to find turtle shells.

He said he will return tomorrow.
Baby, sleep, sleep, sleep.

Over three thousands Native American songs are on file
at the National Archive and can be traced thru the Library of Congress.
