Released 1974.

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

Daddy's baby, what's got you thinking?

What's got you sinking so low?

Is there something I should know,

something new to you?

Daddy's baby fussing and fretting,

keeping on getting it wrong.

She can only last so long

She's going for a song

So sing her a lullaby-bye bye,

Baby don't like to cry.

So sing her a lullaby-bye bye,

Swaddle and swing her.

Sing her a lullaby.

She makes her feelings known to me

Her every side is shown to me.

And in our time alone

my love has surely grown of its own.

Silent as a stepping stone,

silently as the dawn was breaking

soft and clear and my tears were dry

and my fears had flown so I called my love my home.

Use a capo on the 1st fret
