The Real Story Behind “Rock-a-Bye Baby”
Many years ago, Effie Crockett, the older sister of Davy Crockett, visited the Muskogee Tribe to help some mothers. When she arrived at their camp, she was surprised and even laughed a little.
She saw something unusual — the tribe’s babies were not lying in cradles on the ground. Instead, they were gently tied and hung in small cradles from the branches of birch trees. Effie thought it was strange at first. But as she stayed longer, she began to understand.
The babies were high above the ground, safe from bugs, hot sun, and wild animals. As the wind blew, the trees rocked them gently — just like a mother’s arms. Each baby lay peacefully, watching birds, butterflies, and the dancing leaves. The fresh air touched their skin, and they smiled at the world around them.
Effie was deeply touched. One day, she saw a Muskogee mother looking at her child hanging in the cradle. The mother softly sang a song in her native language. As she sang, a tear fell from her eye.
Here is what the song meant:
> Rock-a-bye baby on 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.
Effie wrote down the song and shared it with others. It became the lullaby we all know today — “Rock-a-Bye Baby.”
But most people never knew the deep meaning behind the song.
The Muskogee mother cried because she knew what the song truly meant. The “branch” holding her baby would one day break. Not from danger — but because her child would grow. He would outgrow the cradle, fall to the ground, and become strong enough to stand. One day, her baby would no longer need her protection. He would become a man.
The cradle falling was not the end. It was the beginning of his life’s journey.

A Message to All
This lullaby was born from Native American love and wisdom. It reminds us that every moment is precious, that letting go is part of love, and that nature teaches us the gentlest lessons.
Honor the roots of this song. Honor the Native voices that carried its meaning in their hearts.

We need this!

Jack White, celebrated for his groundbreaking work with The White Stripes and his unwavering commitment to preserving musical history, is once again making waves in the music world. This time, he's helping to release a long-rumored and highly anticipated gem from the legendary Prince—Camille, a 1986 album that has long been the stuff of legend among fans. Thanks to White’s Third Man Records, the elusive album is finally set to see the light of day, fulfilling the long-held dreams of diehard Prince fans who have spent years seeking out the complete work. White recently shared the fascinating backstory of Camille on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, revealing how Prince recorded the album using a feminine alias and altered his voice with a vari-speed tape machine to create a more feminine tone. Although the album was finished and ready for release, Prince decided to pull it at the last moment, leaving it unreleased for decades. While bits of the tracks have circulated through bootlegs and special releases, the full 8-song album has never been available until now. White also recalled his memorable meeting with Prince at an afterparty, where the Purple One offered a powerful piece of advice: “Don’t let anyone tell you how to play your guitar.” As White helps bring Camille to the public, his own career continues to reflect the rebellious spirit and creative independence that Prince championed. The long-awaited release of Camille is set to be a monumental moment in music preservation, offering a rare glimpse into Prince's creative genius.
