Rockabye Your Baby - Nellie McKay

Anytime

I hear a mammy sing a babe to sleep

Slumber deep

That’s the time

The shadows 'round my heart begin to creep

And I weep

Wonder why I went away

What a fool I’ve been

Take me back to yesterday

In your arms again

Rockabye your baby

With a Dixie melody

When you croon

Croon a tune

From the heart of Dixie

Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine

Right on that Mason-Dixon Line

And swing it from Virginia

To Tennessee with all the love that’s in ya'

«Weep No More My Lady»

Sing that song again for me

And «Old Black Joe»

Just as though

You had me on your knee

A million baby kisses I’ll deliver

If you will only sing that «Swanee River»

Rockabye your rockabye baby

With a Dixie melody
