Sit Down Baby Songtext
von Otis Rush

The little red rooster told the little brown hen
"You ain′t laid an egg since I don't know when"
Now baby, sit down, sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while

The turtle said to the rabbit one day
"Don′t be, don't be no fool and try to win this race"
Now baby, sit down, sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while

The AFL told the US Steel
"We don't have to go for no dirty deal"
We can sit down, sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while

Well, I can′t quit you, baby
But I got to put you down for a while
Oh, you know I can′t quit you, baby
But I got to put you down for a while


Well, you messed up my happy home, baby
Made me mistreat my only child
Yes, you know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide

Oh, you know I love you, baby
Ooh, my love for you I could never hide
Yes, you know you're the only one, darlin′
Well, you're just my heart′s desire

Well, I'm so tired I could cry
Ooh, I could just lay down and die
Oh, I′m so tired I could cry
Well, I could just lay down and die

Well, you know I love you, baby
You're just my heart's desire
Now when you hear me moanin′ and groanin′, baby
You know it hurt me way down inside

Oh, when you hear me moanin' and groanin′, baby
Ooh, you know it hurt me way down inside
Yes, when you hear me holler, baby
Ooh, you know you're my desire
