Lefty Frizzel - Lullaby Yodel lyrics

rate me

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

[ fiddle ]

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
