(Slow rock beat)
CHORUS:
C                             Am
Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop.
Am            C                      Am
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
Am            F                G7
So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,
G7            C                Am C
When the wind blows, mmm..mmm..mmm

#1.
C                              Am
Well, Jack be nimble...Jack be quick,
Am          C              Am
Jack jumped over the candlestick.
Am           F        G7
He jumped so high..up above,
G7        C    F             C
He landed in...the cradle of love.

#2.

C                                   Am
Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
Am             C               Am
The cow jumped over...over the moon.
Am             F                     G7 
And on the way down she met a turtle dove,
G7             C        F                C
Said "Let's go rockin,' in the cradle of love."

CHORUS:

C                         Am
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
Am                 C
To get...a pail of water.
C             F                G7
Jack fell for Jill, gave her a shove,
G7          C    F          C
They fell into...the cradle of love.

CHORUS:

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
