Traditional Lyrics

G                            D7 
Rock-a-bye, baby, on the treetop,

                         G 
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,

                                       D7 
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,

    G                    A7     D7  G 
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
