VERSE 1
Some men seeks pleasure 'way from their home
While others by th fireside keep
All th pleasure ever I seek
Is rock'in my baby to sleep
VERSE 2
Hally-o, rock-a-bye-baby
Toss'in th baby, ever so high
Hally-o, rock-a-bye-baby
Mamma come home to you afterwhile
VERSE 3
One night I got my baby to sleep
Took short stroll on th street
An' to my surprise, I saw with my eyes
My wife with a soldier, six feet
VERSE 4
Then I went wild, but I passed with a smile
I'se only take'n a peek
While hugg'n an' kiss'n th men on th street
I'm rock'in my baby to sleep
VERSE 5
Hally-o, rock-a-bye-baby
Toss'in th baby, ever so high
Hally-o, rock-a-bye-baby
Mamma come home to you afterwhile
