Rock-a-bye me
Old Sunday chair
Sing me a song
Was a long time back there
I sat on his lap
Sure felt good to be
Only a child
On my papa's knee
Now papa would sing
A little off key
But he'd fill me with feelings
Of sweet harmony
Now I'd like to hear
That old tune again
And rock to and fro
In lullaby land
Doo doo doo doo doo doo loo
Papa would moan
Oh, it takes me back
To my childhood home
Doo doo doo doo doo doo loo
Sweet harmony
Only a child
On my papa's knee
Now sometimes alone
Well, I reminisce
Surrender my thoughts
About loved ones I miss
I was so young
Still my memory
Won't let me forget
How my papa rocked me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo loo
Papa would moan
Oh, it takes me back
To my childhood home
Doo doo doo doo doo doo loo
Sweet harmony
Only a child
On my papa's knee
