Time: 3/4

2  3   2   1  2   3 -3  3
A-mid the ros-es Mar-y sits 
 3   -1    2 -22 -1    2
and rocks her Je-sus Child,
  -3  2  1* -1  2 -2* 2
While a-mid the tree tops, 
  3    3    -2*  2  -1*2 -2*  2
sighs the breeze so warm and mild.
 2   1    2   3 -3 3
And soft and sweet-ly, 
 -1   2 -2 2 -1 2  -3   3
sings a bird up-on the bow
4  -4 2    -3   1    -2  -1   1
Ah ba-by, dear one, slum-ber now.

 3  2  1   2   3 -3  3
Hap-py is Thy laugh-ter,
-1 2 -22 -1  2   -3   3
Ho-ly is Thy si-lent rest
 3* -1*  1   1*-1*-2 -1*
Lay Thy head in slum-ber,
 3   3  -2 -2  -1  -1*     1
Fond-ly on Thy mo-ther's breast
4  -4 2  -3 3  1    -2  -1   1
Ah Ba-by dear one, slum-ber now
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
