Baby Rocked Her Dolly

As I sit here in this old folks home

My hair just as white as snow

And I remember back when I was young again

How everything was jolly

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum

And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

Well them kids of mine have all grown up

They write every now and then

As I read the letters and think memories of all our fun and folly

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum

And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

That wife of mine God rest her soul

She's gone on before me

I bet she's told the Lord about all the times our house was filled with folly

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum

And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

The man across the hall is a lonely man

Never had a family

So he asked me to tell him about my kids when he's feeling melancholy

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum

And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

Every night I pray for them kids of mine

I wish they were here with me

But before I die Lord let me see a sight to make me jolly

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum

And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

Baby rocked her dolly

Baby rocked her dolly
