used to work all the day long
G                                       C
when i was just a little baby my momma rocked me in the cradle
        G      D          G
and she always sang this song

[Chorus]

G                     D
Possum up a gum tree  sugar in the corn tree
D                       G
tell you whats gonna be sure as youre born
  C                       G
