Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop.
Am            C                      Am
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.

Well, Jack be nimble...Jack be quick,

Jack jumped over the candlestick.

He jumped so high..up above,

He landed in...the cradle of love.

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."

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.
