Subject: Lyr Add: WHILE I ROCK OUR BABIES TO SLEEP (Rogers)
I found this on Spotify:


WHILE I ROCK OUR BABIES TO SLEEP
As recorded by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers
[From a compilation album: "Soundies Digital (Jazz/Country/Pop), Vol. 25" (2004)]

I am now thirty-five and my dear little wife
Is just ten years younger than me.
She is full of enjoyment, has plenty of life,
And she sometimes goes out on a spree.
She will leave me behind, for the babies to mind,
The house in good order to keep,
And then she will roam far away from her home
While I rock all our babies to sleep.

CHORUS: [Yodel]
Toss up the babies ever so high.
[Yodel]
Your mama will come by and by.

One night when I got all our babies to sleep,
I took a short walk down the street,
And to my surprise, I saw with my eyes
My wife with a man of six feet.
At first I grew wild; when I passed them I smiled,
And says I while taking a peep:
"You've been hugging and kissing and having your fun
While I rock all our babies to sleep." CHORUS
