Rock-A-Bye Baby Blues Songtext
von Ray Thomas

I like lazing in the mid-day sun
Doin′ nothin' is having fun
I said, "Oh, Lord, I love lazin′ in your mid-day sun"
And I like doin' my thing all night
With my baby that suits me right
I said, "Come on, baby, do your thing all night with me"


And I like swimmin' in the deep, blue sea
I like swimmin′ but it don′t like me
I said, "Come on, baby, let me take you to the deep, blue sea"
'Cause I′m gonna let my hair hang down
I'm gonna let my skin turn brown
I said, "Come on, baby, let your hair hang down with me"

Wake me up if you′re goin' down and I′ll put things right
You might get weary sometimes
I give you my word you're gonna sleep tonight
I said, "Oh, come closer in my arms
'Cause I′m gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues"
"Oh, I′m gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues"


Try me out if you're still in doubt because it′s up to you
If I should fail you sometimes
It's not because I wanted to make you blue, oh, dear, no
Come closer in my arms
′Cause I'm gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues
Oh, I′m gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues
