Frankie Miller 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
