★ History of the Song:

Originally titled “Hush-a-bye Baby,” this nursery rhyme was said to be the first poem written on American soil (according to 1904’s Book Lover). There’s no official record, however, that proves when the song was written. Some sources claim it was as early as the 1500s. It first appeared in print in Mother Goose’s Melody in 1765 and contained a stern morality lesson in the footnote: “This may serve as a Warning to the Proud and Ambitious, who climb so high that they generally fall at last.”

Rock a bye Baby in the tree top
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
Though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings

Rock a bye Baby, do not you fear
Never mind, Baby, Mother is near
Wee little fingers, eyes are shut tight
Now sound asleep until morning light

Rock-a-bye baby,
On 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.

History, origin and meaning of Rock-a-Bye-Baby

Well! This nursery rhyme contains a real philosophical question, maybe one of the most important questions in philosophy. The question is: Do words matter? You can read everywhere (and there is no doubt that the nursery rhyme is used in this way), that this song is a lullaby, used to help little children to fall asleep. It would seem, however, that neither the baby / little child or the adult singing the song is really aware of what they are hearing / singing. Concerning the baby or the little child, that’s not very surprising. If they are young, words like treetop, bough or cradle would have no meaning for them. Concerning the adult the situation is more complicated. He or she understands exactly what the song is about. We see very clearly that very often the best communication is not to have any communication at all. Sometimes it is much more fun to look at someone while he or she is talking - looking at his or her face, to the emotions expressed by the movement of his or her hands or to his or her smile -without paying any attention to what she or he is actually saying. That’s what a baby does. A baby doesn’t really care what the words are about, or if they mean something or not. For a baby, words are just a melody. Perhaps there is a deep truth in the song, never revealed until known, words are misleading, far away from the melody of life and it is all about emotions. Because, if the baby understood what mummy, daddy, aunt, grandmother or whoever was singing, she or he would be SHOCKED. The song is about a cradle, rocking on a tree top. In order to fasten a cradle there, the treetop must be a certain size and therefore the tree must be a certain high, at least 5 meters. If the bough breaks, it must be a certain thickness, it must be a strong tree, otherwise it would just bend. We can therefore assume that the baby would fall at least 5 meters. If the baby really understood what the song was about, it is unlikely that he or she would have sweet dreams. A nightmare would be more probable! But all of that is no problem at all and the idea that this song could be a problem if used as a lullaby arises from the completely misleading conception of language. People think (nobody knows why), that words refer to something in the real world, that they MEAN something, although it is obvious that words means nothing, they just create emotions or energy. People die for instance for their fatherland, for a religion or for a flag because they are pushed by the energy of a word, but in fact a word for a human being plays the same role as petrol for a car.

We are going to discuss that topic once again when we talk about the song Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond. Therefore, we can say that this song is good illustration what words actually are. At the beginning, when they show up or are used for the first time in history, they have a meaning, but after that, they are just a box where people put their emotions and ideas (often very strange ones). When the word “love“ for instance showed up for the first time in history, it had a meaning, but then it becomes a box where people put in everything they believed bore a relationship to the word. We can therefore assume that a long, long time ago this song had a meaning. From a historical point of view we can’t say that words don‘t have any meaning. There must be a meaning! Let’s have a look at the songtext.
Rock-a-bye baby, on 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

The description is somehow abstract, but nevertheless there is a lot of information. The baby is in a very high, but insecure position. This position is endangered, because there is a risk that a wind may start blowing, which will rock the cradle with the baby and break the bough the cradle is attached to, so that the cradle will fall down from the top. The most important information is at the end. Not only the baby and the cradle will fall, but ‘all‘. What is ‘all‘?
There are some theories to explain the meaning of the song which can be easily exluded. The idea that the song was wri
