CHush now, don't you Fwake up
We'll be Cleaving at Ffirst light
Mama's Dmbuying you a Cmockingbird
To Amlull you thrFough the night
We'll Ccross the Dan by Fmorning
Here's a Cblanket for you to Fshare
They're Dmbuilding down in CGeorgia
Daddy Amhears he'll fiFnd work there
[--------------BEGIN CHORUS---------------]
And the Ammockingbird can't Fsing
Like the Ecrying of a Amdove
And CI can't tell my Fdaughters
All the Ethings that I'Amm scared of
But CI am not aFfraid of that bright E7glory up aAmbove
DmDying's just aCnother way to Amleave the Fones you loveFm
[--------------END CHORUS---------------]
No Cwork for the Fworking man
Just Cone more empty Fmill
DmHard times in CRockingham
AmHard times haFrder still
The Ccrows are in the Fkitchen
The Cwolves at the dFoor
Our Dmfathers' land of CEden is AmparadFise no more
[CHORUS]
[INSTURMENTAL]
My Csister stayed in FEden
Her Chusband's got somFe land
An Dmagent for the Ccounty thinks that Amthey might make a Fstand
A Chard life of Fworking
With Cnothing much to Fshow
A Dmlong life of Cleaving with AmnowherFe to go
[CHORUS]
