Once there was a way

to get back home (Dm)ward;

(G7)once there was a way

to get back home.

(E7)Sleep pret ty darl ing, do not cry;

and I will sing a (G7)lul la by.

Gold

en slum bers fill your eyes;

smiles

a wake you when you rise.

(E7)Sleep pret ty darl ing, do not cry.

and I will sing a (G7)lul la by.

and I will sing a (G7)lul la by.
