[Verse 1]
    F             C
Oh, hush thee, my baby
    F          Bb
The night is behind us
    Dm            C
And black are the waters
     Bb
That sparkled so green


[Verse 2]
    F              C
The moon, o'er the combers
      F           Bb
Looks downward to find us
   Dm          C
At rest in the hollows
     Bb
That rustle between

[Verse 3]
      F            C
Where billow meets billow
     F           Bb
Then soft by thy pillow
    Dm        C
Ah, weary wee flipperling
Bb
Curl at thy ease


[Verse 4]
    F               C
The storm shall not wake thee
    F         Bb
Nor shark overtake thee
 Dm           C
Asleep in the arms
       Bb            F
Of the slow-swinging seas
