Hush Little Baby/Brahms’ Lullaby

Hush Little Baby/Brahms’ Lullaby
Recorded by Anne Murray



G                            D7
Hush little baby don't say a word
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
               D7
If that mockingbird won't sing
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

                    D7
And if that diamond ring is brass
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
                    D7
And if that looking glass gets broke
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

                  D7
And if that billy goat won't pull
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
                     D7
And if that cart and bull turn over
                       G
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

                      D7
And if that dog named Rover won't bark
                         G
Papa's gonna buy you and horse and cart
                      D7
And if that horse and cart fall down
                                    G
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

                D7
Sleep child and when you do
        Em                 C           G
Dream a dream to drift you through the night
     D7                  G
That lingers through the day
           D7
Tonight if dreams are few
     Em             C
I'll sing this lullaby for you
G               D7                 G    D7
Sleep child for dreams always come true

     G                                 D7
Lullaby and goodnight may sleep softly surround you
                                                  G
While your dreams fill your eyes with a melody of love
        C         G               D7        G
May the moonlight embrace you the starlight caress you
        C              G             D7         G
May the sunlight still sing you this lullaby of love
