My mom sang a version of this, I never thought I'd find it... I've a dear little wife, she's the joy of my life, just three years younger than I. She's full of enjoyment, and plenty of life, sometimes she goes out on a spree. She leaves me behind, the baby to mind, the house in good order to keep. Chorus: Hush a la, La coo, La hush-a-bye baby, Tossing the baby ever so high Hush a la, La coo, La hush-a-bye baby, Mama will come bye-and-bye. One night after rocking the baby to sleep, I took a short walk on the street, When to my surprise, I saw with my eyes My wife and a Soldier six-feet. At first I was rout, She passed me and smiled, and said I was taking a peek. She tickled my chin and said Willy go in, and rock the dear baby to sleep. Repeat Chorus
