Old Red Carriage House Baby is a popular nursery rhyme and lullaby originating in the United Kingdom. The song is thought to have originated in Gloucestershire, England, where it was first recorded in the 18th century. The lyrics tell the story of a baby who is left in a red carriage house to be taken care of by the Gill Ma.

The lyrics of the song are simple and repetitive, and the melody is gentle and calming. The first verse tells the story of a baby who is left in a red carriage house to be taken care of by the Gill Ma: “There was a baby left in a red carriage house, And the Gill Ma was the one to take care of him.”

The second verse then describes the Gill Ma's loving care for the baby: “She fed him milk from a silver spoon, And rocked him in her arms to the rising moon.” The third verse features the Gill Ma singing to the baby: “She sang him songs of angels and kings, And of the sweet birds that in the meadows sing.”

The fourth verse culminates with the baby being taken away by his parents: “But the baby was taken away, And the Gill Ma was left all alone in the red carriage house.” The final verse is a sad farewell to the baby: “Goodbye, goodbye, little baby mine, And may God bless you in the land divine.”

Old Red Carriage House Baby is still a popular children's song in the United Kingdom and is often used as a lullaby. The song’s gentle melody and simple lyrics capture the sentiment of a mother’s love for her child, even when they are apart.
