A G Am G F G Am G Am G
[verse one]
Am G Am G Hush, you little baby, don't you say a word Am G F G Here comes the devil, all dressed up like a mockingbird Am G A G And if that mockingbird should try to steal you off the ground F G Am G Mama's gonna grab on tight and hold you down, down, down
[verse two]
Am G Mama, can you tell me, where did my money go? Am G F G What did the devil sell me? I don't even know Am G Am G He's been pecking in my pockets, diving round my door Am G F G Trying to take me with him- what does he want me for?
[Chorus]
Am G F G Mama told me, Am G F G don't let go the ground Am G F G Somebody hold me, yeah Am G F hold me down Em Am G Down
[verse three]
Am G Am G I got the devil on my shoulder- hollering- beating his red wing Am G F G Saying "polly wanna dollar, I don't care if you can sing" Am G Am G And "put down that guitar, now, darlin', you can't really play it Am G F G Don't matter what you got to say- you don't know how to say it"
[Chorus]
Am G F G Mama told me, Am G F G don't let go the ground Am G F G Somebody hold me, yeah Am G F hold me down

[Chorus]
Am G F G Mama told me, Am G F G don't let go the ground Am G F G Somebody hold me, yeah Am G F hold me down Em Am G Down
