Lullaby Yodel
(Jimmie Rodgers)
My baby I know that you want me
Each lonely night and day
Your deep blue eyes how they haunt me
Though you're far away.
Oh, why did she take you away from arms
And leave nothing to cherrish there
She's left me so blue but when she took you too
It seems more than l could bear.
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullabys to you.
--- Instrumental ---
A dream of you baby
Caresses, dimples and golden hair
And reach out to clasp you in my arms
To find only emptiness there.
Your future has been the chief thing in my life
You'll never know how it means
My plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems
For you are my only embrace.
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
Just to rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullabys to you...
