Text: Red Sovine. Baby Rocked Her Dolly.
Sister did the jig and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
As I sit here in this old folks home my hair is white as snow
I remember when I was young again how everything was jolly
When sister did the jig...
Well them kids of mine they've all grown up they write every now and then
As I read the letters it makes memories of all our fun and folly
When sister did the jig...
That wife of mine God rest her soul she's gone on before me
I bet she's told the Lord about the times our house was filled with jolly
When sister did the jig...
That man across the hall is a lonely man he's never had a family
So he asked me to tell him all about my kids when he's feelin' melancholy
When sister did the jig...
When sister did the jig...
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
As I sit here in this old folks home my hair is white as snow
I remember when I was young again how everything was jolly
When sister did the jig...
Well them kids of mine they've all grown up they write every now and then
As I read the letters it makes memories of all our fun and folly
When sister did the jig...
That wife of mine God rest her soul she's gone on before me
I bet she's told the Lord about the times our house was filled with jolly
When sister did the jig...
That man across the hall is a lonely man he's never had a family
So he asked me to tell him all about my kids when he's feelin' melancholy
When sister did the jig...
When sister did the jig...
