(Chorus)
(Am)Hush little baby (C)don't you cry

(Am) He's messing with my (C)baby
(G) And I aint' gonna (F)tell him twice
If you (Am)come home (C)crying
Kiss the (G)Chevy and these matches good and (Fm)bye
(Am) You're coming off (C)gentle
(G) Somthing like a (F)preacher's daughter
(Am) The same can't be (C)said for me

'Cause I (G)know his kind like the back of my hand
Just (F)'cause he's a male don't make him a man

(Chorus)
(Am)Hush little baby (C)don't you cry
Your (G)mama's got a 12 guage (F)held up high
And (Am)if that boy ever (C)breaks your heart
I'll (G)send him where the moon meets and (F)kisses the stars
I (Am)count my blessing, (C)count these shells
It'll (G)only take one shot to (F)bring him down
He (Am)better treat you right 'cause (C)if he doon't
The (G)Lord's gonna (F)call him home / / / |
