Love it! I think some of these are actually less creepy than the traditional lullabies - especially the ones that have the almost Disney-like horror of fathers skinning rabbits to put baby Buntings in, or of babies falling out of the boughs of trees.

Lullabies for Bloodshot Eyes, fantastic. Worth stealing :-)
How about "In the Pines?"

Oh my god, Omie Wise. Even *I* wouldn't sing that to my kid!
Ooh! what's that one... Rye Cove! It's about a school burning down. But I don't think anyone dies.
John, I'm changing the list name. As long as I give credit where it's due... right? "In the Pines": I don't think I know that one, but I added it anyway. Who sings it (most famously)?
