Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues - Ray Thomas

I like lazing in the midday sun

Doing nothing is having fun, I said

Oh Lord, I love lazing in your midday sun

And I like doing my thing all night

With my baby that suits me right, I said

Come on baby do your thing all night with me

And I like swimming in the deep blue sea

I like swimming but it don’t like me, I said

Come on baby let me take you to the deep blue sea

Cause I’m gonna let my hair hang down

I’m gonna let my skin turn brown, I said

Come on baby let your hair hang down with me

Wake me up if you’re going down

And I’ll put things right

You might get weary sometimes

I give you my word you’re gonna sleep tonight

I said oh come closer in my arms

Cause I’m gonna sing you

My rock-a-bye baby blues

Oh I’m gonna sing you

My rock-a-bye baby blues

Try me out if you’re still in doubt

Because it’s up to you

If I should fail you sometimes

It’s not because I wanted to make you blue

Oh dear no, come closer in my arms

Cause I’m gonna sing you

My rock-a-bye baby blues

Oh I’m gonna sing you

My rock-a-bye baby blues
