Dm F Am Gm
Hush little babe, don't be forlorn
Bb F C F
You were lynched before you were born
Dm F Am Gm
Your skin is black, so it's understood
Bb F C Dm
Though youre one day old, you're no damn good
Dm F Am Gm
Don't hush my babe, you're right to squalk
Bb F C F
Your skin will creep before you can walk
Dm F Am Gm
You'll live just as long as they think you should
Bb F C Dm
When you're one day old and no damn good
Dm F Am Gm
You may be president some day
Bb F C F
And in the White House you will stay
Dm F Am Gm
So dry your tears, don't you frown
Bb F C Dm
The rope and the whip can't keep you down
Dm F Am Gm
This Nightmare babe, can't last the night
Bb F C F
We'll end it soon, the black and white
Dm F Am Gm
We'll mark its grave with a cross of wood
Bb F C Dm
Saying "one day old and no damn good"
Dm F Am Gm
Hush now babe, don't be forlorn
Bb F C F
Though you were lynched before you were born
Dm F Am Gm
Your skin is black, so it's understood
Bb F C Dm
Though youre one day old, you're no damn good
Dm
