Selkirk Settlers Lullaby

 
D                       A 
Sleep wee laddie as the wild winds blow, 
G                   D 
Born in winter on a bed of snow 
D                   A 
Close your eyes and don't you wake, 
G                         D 
Sleep wee laddie till the new day breaks 
 

 
       A           G      D      A   D 
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye my bonnie wee child 
       A           G      D      A   D 
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye my bonnie wee child 
 

 
D                            A 
May you never be pushed from this new land 
    G                   D 
Nor feel the landlord's heavy hand 
D                   A 
Close your eyes and don't you wake 
G                         D 
Sleep wee laddie till the new day breaks 
 

 
       A           G      D      A   D 
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye my bonnie wee child 
       A           G      D      A   D 
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye my bonnie wee child
