Origins in American history
The words and lyrics to this nursery rhyme are reputed to reflect the observations of a young pilgrim boy in America who had seen Native Indian mothers suspend a birch bark cradle from the branches of a tree enabling the wind to rock the cradle and the child to sleep. The rhyme also hold a warning on the choice of bough!

Ammi, you wise ass! Only joking but even so many mothers sing this to their babies without knowing the true meaning behind it. They just hear "cradle!" and think it's fitting to put a baby to sleep.

..actually, why were those Native Americans putting their baby in the tree in the first place, just because they didn't have Social Services to answer to, they thought they could risk their baby's life...I bet they were on government benefits as well.....

maybe they didn't know any better and thought it was practical to put babies on tree tops and that the wind would never blow so hard to make their babies fall.
