Rock-a-bye your ba-by,
-5   5  5  -4 -5 -2 -3
with a Dix-ie mel-o-dy.
4    -4    -5     -3  3  -4
When you croon, croon a tune,
-2    2   -3   4  2-1*2-1
from the heart of  Dix-ie.

1*    -1  2  -2  -3   -3  -2  -3
Just hang my cra-dle, mam-my mine,
2     -2  -2*  3 -4  -4  3   -4
right on that Ma-son Dix-on line.
3     -3  -4  4   -5  -4  -3  1* -1   2  -2
And swing it from Vir-gin-ia, to Ten-nes-see,
2    -2  -2*   3    -3    2 -1
with all the love that's in ya.

3    2   -2  -2* 3  6
Weep no more, my la-dy,
-5    4    4  -4  -5   -2  -3
sing that song a-gain, for me.
4     4   -4   -5     -3  3   -5
And "Old Black Joe," just as though
-5*  6  -5 -4  3*   2
you had me on your knee.

2 -2   2   3  2   -2  2    3   2  -2  2
A mil-lion ba-by kiss-es, I'll de-liv-er,
-3  -4  -3   4   -3  -4   -3    4   -3 -4  -3
The min-ute that you sing the "Swan-ee Riv-er."
3    2 -2   -2*  3  -3 -4  4  -4
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye ba-by,
4    4* 6  -5 -6  6 5
with a Dix-ie mel-o-dy.
