The songs that DS seems to like best are "Moon River," "Que Sera Sera," and an old classic in my family we call "Let the Rest of the World Go By" (not sure if that's the real name). Also some Gospel like @Fronkinzankinsbride: mentioned.
In a real baby meltdown, DH has great success pulling down the guitar or ukelele and playing some Disney "When you wish upon a star," etc. or old blues/Appalachian music. Seems LO's favorite is "Railroad Blues" by Sam McGee.
I haven't even thought to try the baby classics!

@LovelyPlum: I love that Mary Poppins song! Have tried it as a lullaby but turns out the only lyrics I know are the title.
I should look it up. -
I sing them a lot of Beatles and Elton John. When they first came home I thought I had to sing baby songs, but I didn't know any. So I ended up singing Christmas songs. They got a lot of midnight Jingle Bells the first two weeks.

@anandam: I sing my LOs Moon River every morning! It was the song my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to so it's really special to me!

@Fronkinzankinsbride: I sing that same Nobody But the Baby song too!
