Baby Rocked Her Dolly Songtext

Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly As I sit here in this old folks home my hair is white as snow I remember when I was young again how everything was jolly When sister did the jig... Well them kids of mine they've all grown up they write every now and then As I read the letters it makes memories of all our fun and folly When sister did the jig... That wife of mine God rest her soul she's gone on before me I bet she's told the Lord about the times our house was filled with jolly When sister did the jig... That man across the hall is a lonely man he's never had a family So he asked me to tell him all about my kids when he's feelin' melancholy When sister did the jig... When sister did the jig...
