Lyrics Baby Rocked Her Dolly - Lucie Dolène , Oliver Wallace

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

My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

Those kids of mine are grown up now they write every now and then
And just to read the lines brings back the times of all our fun and folly

My sister did the dance 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

My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

The man across the hall is a lonely man he never had a family
And so he asked me to tell him about our kids when he's feeling melancholy

My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly

Every night I pray for those kids of mine I wish they were here with me
And before I die Lord let me see a sight to make me jolly

My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
